Your Goal: Shoot 36 (Par) or better in all 6 Levels
Operation 36 begins by scaling the golf course to a beginner's skill level.
Step 1
Play 9 holes from Level 1
You will start by playing nine holes from Level 1, where the course is 225 yards long, meaning 25 yards per hole. Every hole is a Par 4, which is your target amount of strokes to hole the ball. Do this for 9 holes to shoot 36!
Step 2
Shoot 36 or Better to Level Up
Your goal is to shoot 36 or better for nine holes. When you achieve this, you level up and the course gets progressively longer. This helps you gradually develop your skills without feeling overwhelmed.
Step 3
Curriculum & Coaches Guide You
If you get stuck in a Level, that’s okay! There are 12 standard video skills in each Level to guide you. Join a program at one of our 800 partner locations to learn from expert Op 36 Coaches. Your coach will teach each of these 12 skills live in your weekly group classes.
Step 4
Train & Track Your Progress
The Op 36 app gives you all the tools to be successful when you are not with your coach. Follow the training games to know how to practice like a pro to accelerate your skills to shooting 36.

Absolutely! Wouldn't it be fun to see what Level you can shoot par (36) from? With Op 36 you will find the core areas you need to improve as you start in Level 1. Many experienced golfers find the program "eye-opening" as it exposes quickly where to improve and builds confidence in your game as you play the Full Tee-box.
We want you to fall in love with the sport before you invest significantly into golf equipment. The beauty of starting close to the hole in Level 1 means you only need a Putter and a Wedge or 7 iron to get started. Then as your skills develop and the course lengthens you can add more clubs or look to get a more full set. We recommend reaching out to your coach after you register as they will have recommendations for you and probably have clubs you can use.
Everyone is ready to play "TODAY" with Operation 36! The events are educational and designed to be more of a learning environment than a competition. Every golfer playing are all working together to beat 36 on the course, or their personal record. So even though it is individual play, it is a fun and supportive environment where kids and adults can learn to play and become confident getting on a golf course.
