Best range promotion: Our year-round junior golf program with a designated junior golf leader is second to none. A Par three tour for the juniors compete every weekend of the year weather permitting. The junior golf leading money winners are posted and tracked throughout the year. We host multiple club fitting days for four major manufacturers. We have competitions for the same majors the PGA tour does. Our annual junior Ryder Cup is extremely competitive. Our college walls at the Jones center with pictures of all juniors who have going on to play college golf continues to fill up.

Special programs: Our junior golf fundraising committee reaches out in many ways each year. First tee at Eastlake has always been supported. Clubs for kids donated to the inner city programs. we invite juniors from other clubs to come visit our club players are juniors and we do the same. We pick a charity each year such as the Star House and go spend a day with the kids taking them golf goodies. Each spring we host the annual high school invitational for boys and girls. This year will be our 13th annual. We attract the top schools and players with a waiting list each year.
