Northstar California Resort Golf Course and Clubhouse will open for the summer 2016 season on Friday, May 20 featuring excellent course conditions and a new PGA Director of Instruction, Rich Aprile. Recently lauded as the “#1 Course for Value in the Sierra Nevada” by California Golf and Travel Magazine, Northstar features an authentic mountain golf experience for guests of all ability levels.
 
New this season, the Northstar Golf team is thrilled to welcome its newest member, Aprile, who brings more than 20 years of coaching expertise to Northstar’s instructional programs. Having worked with the best golf instructors in the country, Aprile’ s primary focus is on fostering enjoyment of the game and course, better handicaps and scores.
 
“Rich’s knowledge of the game, the mechanics of the golf swing, and mental training are top notch when it comes to teaching professionals,” said PGA Director of Northstar Golf, Pete Smith. “But what really separates him from other instructors is his appreciation of creating a genuine relationship with his students.”
 
Aprile trains golfers not only on the full swing and short game, but also the mental approach, course management, etiquette and thorough understanding of rules. His approach to instruction has kept his students returning and improving over time. He is an asset to the Northstar Golf experience in addition to new programs that will be introduced at the beautiful facilities this summer.
