Assistant Golf Professional
Golf Academy Teaching Professional

Katrina Escobedo joins us after spending three years at Stonebridge Country Club in Aurora, Illinois.

Katrina has been playing competitive golf her entire life.  She grew up playing in Kentucky and Illinois, was a member of her high school golf team, and was also a member of the Division 1 Western Kentucky University Lady 'Toppers golf team.  Katrina has competed in hundreds of golf tournaments throughout her golf career, and plans to continue playing in many more local and national events. 

Starting out at Cantigny Golf Club in Wheaton, Illinois, Katrina worked at the Youth Links focusing on youth instruction the very first year the program opened to the public.  After college, she spent just over two years working at both Ko'olau Golf Club and Oahu Country Club in Hawaii.  Katrina also worked at Golf Galaxy, Golfsmith, and 2nd Swing, where she gained an expertise for custom club fitting, club repair, and golf equipment selection.

Katrina truly enjoys working with students of all skill level.  "My teaching philosophy is to keep instruction simple and focused on the key essentials of golf. I like to begin by listening to the student to help them identify their goals in all areas of the game.  Most importantly, a swing built on sound fundamentals (grip, posture, alignment, ball position and pivot action) is a swing that will consistently perform for a lifetime."  She feels that her experience in both playing competitively and learning from other knowledgeable instructors throughout her golf career has helped her to understand many significant elements of golf and the golf swing.

Katrina passed her Playing Ability Test in 2009, and is now enrolled in the PGA of America, working towards her Class A PGA Membership.  She is also enrolled in the LPGA Teaching & Club Professional program, working towards her LPGA Class A Membership.  Already becoming an established teacher, she hopes to one day soon be well recognized in the golf instruction field.

Katrina is available for private and group instruction, and can be reached at Sportsman's Country Club by calling the Golf Shop at 847.291.2351, ext. 128, by e-mail at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it or This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , or on her cellular phone at 630.864.7339.
