The Red Hawk Ridge Junior Golf Academy introduces kids to the fundamentals of golf in a friendly and fun way. Juniors will receive instruction during one-hour sessions over three days.
The age groups are divided as follows:
- Rookies — 6 to 9 years old
- Vets — 10 to 12 years old
- All-Stars — 13 to 16 years old
Classes will be limited to five students per instructor, with a maximum of 20 juniors in each class. We will provide golf clubs for all levels, but we recommend that juniors bring their own set if they have one. Classes are held on the driving range / putting green at Red Hawk Ridge.
Cost and registration
The three days of classes will cost $120 regardless of residency. Registration begins April 15, and the Academy is first-come, first-served. The deadline for registration is seven days prior to each class. If you have any questions regarding our Academy, please contact the Junior Coordinator at 720-733-3500.
