Junior Golf Academy

The goal of our Junior Golf Academy program is to develop better golfers and better people.  It's important to remember that the child is more important than the golf swing or game.  The primary goal of every Junior Program is to develop golfers who will continue to play long after the program is over.  Our program is geared toward all age levels and abilities.  Sessions are four consecutive days followed by a Saturday golf outing.  Sessions are limited to 15 students with an instructor/student ratio of 1:5.  All who have participated in our golf camps have enjoyed the program with many advancing their skill level.

FAQ's

Juniors are not required to have their own clubs for Level 1 and Level 2.  These camps are designed to be an introduction to the game.  Juniors who will be in Level 3 will require their own equipment.  Sharing of equipment is not permitted.

Tips to Selecting Junior Clubs
Juniors do not require full sets of clubs when starting out.  We recommend that each Junior start with a minimum set of clubs, which includes a single wood, two irons and a putter.  As skills progress additional clubs can be added. 

Cutting down clubs for kids makes the club stiff.  For every 2 inches the club is shortened, the relative flexibility of the shaft increases by one flex; i.e. a driver with an "R" flex shaft effectively becomes an "S" flex.

Before you buy clubs, come see us!
We carry the best Junior equipment and will give those attending our camps special rates.
