Depending on the age distribution of the students, we will design a program appropriate to the skill level of all juniors involved, on a case-by-case basis. For younger children and beginners, we will promote a program with an emphasis on fundamentals and introductory golf concepts while still providing a fun and engaging environment. For teenagers and more accomplished junior golfers, we will continue to work on fundamentals but incorporate more on-course strategy and competition.
Learn putting, chipping, sand shots, full swing, playing on the course, and more in a fun, stress-free group environment!
