This is a fun, team oriented way for your child to learn to play golf, course etiquette, life lessons, in a team format. We will have weekly practices (1 hour in duration). Along with the practices, we will have 6 matches against other clubs that are in our league (Edina CC, Minneapolis GC, Golden Valley CC). This is designed to be a fun way to learn the game no matter what your juniors skill level is. The goal of this program is to introduce the juniors to playing the game on the course, improve their skill, teach them about course etiquette, and how to work together as a team.

Our fall program will be an in-house league and run over 6 weeks. We will start on August 30th with our first practice and wrap up with our last match on October 7th. A formal schedule and practice calendar will be passed out to each parent at the first practice containing all start times and where to meet at. The listing for our program is titled as 13U but the age range we accept is 7 to 15. 

Our goal is to offer an introductory atmosphere into golf and being on the course! Whether you are an advanced junior golfer or just getting into the game, everyone can have fun and get better. Practices will be held on Wednesday nights from 5:30-6:30 working on all aspects of the game. Instruction will be led by our PGA professionals! Our matches will be played on Saturday evenings with a 4:30 start. The format for matches will be groups of 2 or 3 players playing a scramble against another team. All matches will be played on the front 9 at Prestwick. We look forward to having you join the fun!
