Meet Darren Falk

Darren grew up in Walden, NY and was introduced to golf by his father, an avid golfer, at the age of 5. He began working at a local golf course in high school and quickly fell in love with the golf club environment. After deciding that a career in golf was something he wanted to pursue, he enrolled at Campbell University and graduated with a degree in Professional Golf Management. It was here that his love for teaching was developed.  

Through his career, Darren has been privileged to work as an Intern and as an Assistant Professional at many distinguished golf clubs:
~ Chevy Chase Club (Chevy Chase, MD)
~ The Country Club (Brookline, MA)
~ Prouts Neck Country Club (Scarborough, ME)
~ Ritz Carlton Golf Club (Jupiter, FL)
~ The Bears Club (Jupiter FL)
~ Black Hall Club (Old Lyme, CT) 

After serving as First Assistant at Chevy Chase Club, Darren joined the staff at Holly Ridge Golf Club as Head Professional/Teaching Professional.  He enjoys working with golfers of all ages and abilities and formulating a plan to help them achieve their goals.
