Junior Golf Programs

Group Lessons

Group lessons meet once a week for an hour over the course of six weeks, in one of our two Calgary locations depending on the season, and have six kids per group.

The junior group lessons age divisions are as follows:

• White Tigers (4-6 years old). This is the first step in a junior golfer's pathway with participation and fundamental movement skills being key components.
• Orange Tigers(6-9 years old). Juniors in this stage will focus on developing skills while continuing to build on their athleticism.
• Blue Tigers (8-10 years old). In this stage, juniors will focus on playing conventional rounds of golf while keeping score and competing against each other through fun games and activities.
• Black Tigers (9-14 years old). This level will focus on a higher level of skill development as well as develops the golfer as a whole before moving on to learn to compete.

*Cost:$125 for 30min classes $199 for 60min classes (6 classes in total)

Our junior golf program has been growing rapidly and it’s no surprise why. Golf can be a difficult sport to master. While the rules and principles are straightforward, being able to hit the ball exactly where you want it requires a lot of practice. Start early! It can be easier to build a swing from scratch than adjust bad movements after years of practicing imperfectly. 

Junior golf lessons are offered in groups or week-long camps, and we have a skills development program for older players. All junior instruction follows the PGA Canada Long Term Player Development (LTPD) guide.

We believe golf can be life-changing, and the sooner you start the more impact it can have. Learn mental stamina, encourage fitness, and practice technique to elevate not only your child’s game but every part of their life. Discover a love of the game and what you’re capable of.

Golf Camps

Golf Camps begin running in early spring and are a week long. Instruction begins every morning at 8:30 AM. We break for lunch and then play 9 holes of golf in the afternoon, with each day ending at 4:30 PM.

Juniors’ instruction is relaxed and uses games to teach kids how to play golf. We don’t drill your child, we encourage kids to figure out each part of the game. We teach rules and etiquette, how fast to play, and they learn directly on the course.

Personalized Group Golf Coaching

Personalized Golf coaching groups start with an evaluation of every part of your game.  We will then create a personalized practice plan specific to you. Groups will consist of up to six golfers each and will meet weekly at your selected day and time. We will identify 3 areas of focus for your improvement as well as maintenance drills to ensure the other areas of your game stay strong.  Coaching groups are directed at skills development in various aspects of the game. Students learn what to practice, how to practice, and how to measure improvement. Your practice plan will be adjusted at your request as you progress. 

This is true game advancement. The program duration forces a commitment from the student and PGA of Canada-certified professionals produce results. A three-month minimum commitment is a crucible that forces you to set goals and strive for them and then modify and adjust them as you improve. 

Your coach will meet with you weekly and work through a step-by-step weekly practice routine. Each week you will challenge different areas of your game with drills and games to help you lower those scores.

The first step is to book your game evaluation.  We will send you your personalized plan and discuss what group or package works best for you.  We do our best to put you with golfers that are of the same skill levels, ages and genders.  If you have your own group or have a friend or two that you are joining please let us know at your evaluation appointment. Please let us know of any alternate times that may work for you as well.
