Junior Golf Camps & PGA Jr. League:

The academy camps are open to kids 6 to 18 years of age. Each camp is 4 days long and are conducted periodically throughout the year. They consist of full swing, putting, chipping, pitching, bunker play, and on-course instruction.

PGA Jr. League – All skill levels are welcome, and no prior golf experience is required to participate in the program. Each student's improvement plan is customized based on their performance in the initial evaluation. The league's curriculum covers essential skills including the full swing, short game, putting, along with on-course instruction and effective course management strategies. Our kids play in matches against other clubs in and around our area.

Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
Putting & Short Game Bootcamps, Putting Skills Assessment Test

“These learning experiences are mostly tailored for adults, but I have had junior golfers as young as 14 years old participate. These boot camps welcome between three and eight students per session. Each one-day Putting Boot Camp is approximately two hours long and begins with introductions and having each participant reveal what they believe are their self-perceived weaknesses in putting. We talk about types of putters, the importance of using the same brand and model of golf ball, and the training aids and stations used for that days camp. We then move on to the proper setup at address and the stroke itself using putting mirrors. During this time, each participant uses the Eyeline Golf Sight Line System to match their perception of their aim with its reality. After a brief break, we reconvene for drills that put an emphasis on speed and distance control. We also conduct games to put the student’s newfound skills to the test. Finally, we wrap up with a quick summary of important points, a brief chat about what they learned, and answer any questions they might have.”
They are an affordable, fun and engaging way for new and existing students to learn in an informative stress free and fun-filled environment. They attract players from Dallas/Ft. Worth and the surrounding communities.
