2-Day Advanced
Golf Retreat

Jun 13 - Jun 14

Big Cedar Lodge

Hollister, Missouri

About This Event

Ready to take your game to the next level? The True Swing Advanced Retreat is an advanced, small-group experience designed for golfers who already know the fundamentals and are ready for game-changing instruction that sharpens performance, refines strategy, and unlocks the next level of their game. This retreat is ideal for returning True Swing students or golfers with a handicap of 18 or below who are ready to stop playing it safe and start playing their best. 

Over two days at the stunning Big Cedar Lodge in Hollister, Missouri, you'll be part of an intimate group of just 8 golfers, coached at a 4:1 ratio, with the kind of personalized attention that creates real, lasting breakthroughs. Using Erika Larkin's feel-based True Swing Method, your coaches will help you stop overthinking and start performing — with real-time feedback, on-course coaching, and a focused environment built for golfers who are serious about playing their best.

On night one, enjoy a fun kick-off dinner that brings the whole group together and sets the tone for the retreat. The easy camaraderie that follows makes this feel less like a golf school and more like an unforgettable golf trip with new friends who share your drive to improve.

Your retreat is led by Erika Larkin, founder of the True Swing Method and one of Golf Digest's Top 50 Instructors in America, alongside certified True Swing Coach Megan Johnston, LPGA Class A Professional and Level 2 True Swing Coach.

Get ready for a weekend designed to leave you more confident on the course, more consistent in your game, and genuinely excited to tee it up again.

Hotel accommodations are not included with your retreat registration. We recommend booking a nearby hotel or Airbnb that suits your preferences. If you'd like help finding options close to the course, feel free to reach out at support@trueswing.com and we'll be happy to assist.

You've Mastered the Fundamentals. Now, Let's Go Deeper

You've put in the work. You know your swing, you understand the method, and you're ready for something more than another beginner-friendly weekend on the range.

The True Swing Elite Retreat is built for golfers who are done with generic instruction and ready for the kind of focused, high-level coaching that actually moves the needle. Over two days, you'll go beyond the basics — dialing in the nuances of your swing, sharpening your course strategy, and building the consistency that separates good golfers from great ones.

Small group. Elite coaches. Zero wasted time.

Real Golfers. 
Real Transformations.

Erika's instruction created some good results for me. I played my first round since working with her and shot a 75. It was the first sub - 80 round since early June. I focused primarily on posture and tempo it seemed to make shots go where I was aiming.

Jay G.

I watched Erika's instructional video about Hands Free Golf and thought, why not give it a try. In my last five rounds, only doing the basic of what she shared on the short video, I have shaved 9 to 10 shots and while I am happy with the lower scores, just hitting the ball better and longer is the real prize.

Dan C.

I would pull off the tee like 50 to 80 yards. With Erika's lessons and tips I started to see what exactly I needed to fix. And, when I got the "FEEL" of my true swing with quiet arms -- Wow! All of a sundden I look like a player again. I now have a smooth swing. Erika saved my sanity and gave me a reason to go back out and compete.
