Junior Golf Development
Juniors from the ages of 6 –
16 can take part in our Junior Golf Development which consists
of an 8 week course of tuition. Each week covers a different aspect
of the game from holding your first club to course etiquette.
During the holidays we hold week
long camps for the Juniors that have already done the 8 week course
to progress and develop their skills even further. The days are
filled with on course tuition and a running four day competition.
These courses prepare children for their first membership with
a club giving them all the skills and information they need including
technique, rules and etiquette.
