Juniors and Parents,
We have been able to finalize our programs with Oxbow Glen Golf Course and excited for the 2026 junior golf season. Although we have been able to maintain our previous program costs, we have been asked to continue having a more limited and smaller groups this season by the club. Therefore our committee has decided to have the following procedure for enrollment for 2026.
NOTES FOR 2026 JUNIOR GOLF SEASON:
*CONTINUING* BEGINNERS AND LIMITED EXPERIENCED JUNIORS
For those juniors new to the game or limited in golf experience, the best program selection is the Learn to Golf program. Each season has 6 training sessions and 3 on course dates in which junior play the course from the proper tee block. Our camps are not the best selection as juniors walk and play 18 holes every day and this can often be overwhelming for these juniors.
*CONTINUING* LEARN TO GOLF PARENT CADDIES REQUIRED
Juniors 9 and under OR juniors new to golf will REQUIRE a parent caddie for the on course dates until his/her skills and knowledge on course allow the junior to be independent. This usually occurs when a juniors reached Level 3 playing 100 yards holes AND approved by coaches. Parent caddies are required for returning and new juniors. Our coaches will advise when a caddie is not required.
*CONTINUING* PROGRAM FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS (typically for students entering grade 11):
Future Player and Mentor Program – this program is for High School students that wish to continue learning golf as well as learn to coach juniors. We piloted this program last year with 2 coaches and it went very well. For example, a junior interested in Mondays would assist coaching the Learn to Golf class and then train as a player in the Future Players program. Yes you can gain volunteer hours and gain the experience necessary to be a paid coach in the future. Note that the juniors require a certain level of playing ability in order to be able to demonstrate skills to other juniors.
To be involved, enroll in the Future Players program for the night you wish (Mondays or Tuesdays) and our coaches will reach out to confirm your enrollment
*CONTINUING* GOLF CAMPS REQUIRE JUNIORS TO WALK COURSE:
Reminder each day of our golf camp juniors play 18 holes. We walk the course and juniors must be able to look after his/her equipment often using a pull cart during the round.
