Junior League Overview

Our Junior League is a highlight of summer for kids. Over the years, we’ve learned that the best way to learn golf is on the course. Unlike traditional programs, we treat juniors as welcome patrons and encourage them to get out and PLAY. Less time on the range, fewer rules lectures, and more real golf. Kids learn what they need to improve, then enjoy the freedom to play with friends in a fun, supervised environment.

Executive League Overview

The Executive League is designed for juniors ages 12–16 who are ready to play full rounds and gain confidence on the course. Players enjoy supervised, unstructured play with support from our junior staff to ensure a safe and welcoming experience. On-course instruction is not provided, but staff are present to keep things moving, answer questions, and help create a great experience for every golfer.
