Children are the future of golf. Our junior program (including instruction classes) is focused on kids of all ages and ability. We want to introduce as many kids to our sport as we can while passing along our passion for the activity.  During the membership, your child will be given full access to the golf course with unlimited golf, while the instruction is offered by our team of PGA of Canada Professionals. They will learn correct fundamentals of technique, good practice techniques, sportsmanship, rules of the game and proper conduct on the course.

Junior Golf Equipment

We are committed to providing our junior members with the finest quality golf equipment. The U.S. Kids Golf program and The Callaway Junior Club Program are aimed at beginning junior golfers from the ages of five to fifteen. Junior golf bags and individual clubs are also available.

When choosing a set of golf clubs, make sure they are of reasonable quality. There are many different factors to take into consideration, such as the weight, balance, length, shaft type and flex, grip size and club head size. Habits start early on in a golfer’s life. Clubs that are too heavy and too long will affect theses habits negatively.

For the Parents

The Restaurant at the golf course is a great place to relax and enjoy a dinner and drink special while you wait. Outdoor seating is also available, with its scenic ocean views. The restaurant is always open to the public.

If the Pro shop does not have an inventory item in stock you are looking for, special orders may be made on most junior equipment.
