Junior Golf

Junior golfers meet on Thursday mornings during the months of June, July and August at the Learning Center with our PGA Professional and his staff for a period of instruction, not just on the swing but also the many facets of the game, rules, and etiquette. Once the instruction period is over, the youngsters are given the opportunity to play on the course. Each child’s instruction is custom designed to fit his/her own skill level, including determining the appropriate number of holes to be played afterward. Categories of instruction include Pee Wee, 2-Hole, 5-Hole, 9-Hole and 18-Hole divisions. The Junior Golf season concludes with a Junior Golf Skills Day, Championship and Banquet, where all participants receive awards for participation and their outstanding play for the year.
