New Class for 2019!
Introducing the "Mini" Kidz Club, a program designed for kids under the age of 6. Our main focus is to introduce the game of golf while making it "FUN." The class will consist of increasing their motor skills (throwing/catching/kicking/etc.) and learning about the fundamentals of putting and chipping. At this stage we are emphasizing safety, fun and learning the basics.

Red Level (Introductory I) – 9:30am - 10:30am / $150 Per Junior

The "Red" level introduces beginners to the game at its most basic stage. Students will learn; what golf is; how it is played; simple rules and etiquette suitable to this level; as well as swing fundamentals. At this stage we are emphasizing safety, fun and learning the basics.

At this stage the child has learned the basics and is starting to be concerned with results (control of distance and direction on the green, basic chip and run shot, and getting the ball air borne). The emphasis is still on being safe and having fun but the child should begin to get more interested in correct technique at this point.

For a child to advance to the "White" level, they must demonstrate the ability to perform the basic pre-swing and in-swing fundamentals of putting, chipping and half swings as well as achieve satisfactory results.

While safety and fun are always a focus, kids should begin to enjoy the competitive aspect of the game as well.

For a child to advance to the "Black" level, they must demonstrate the ability to get the ball up and down in a predetermined amount of strokes on a short game course. They must also show that they can play by the rules and display good etiquette.
