We have watched juniors reach their goals of playing at a high level on their school teams, and several have gone on to collegiate programs. At the same time, this is a fun, welcoming outlet for kids just getting into the game. Every session is built around three pillars: coaching the mind, developing the body, and refining technique so players grow as athletes and as people. 3+ Years A proven academy track record helping juniors build real, lasting improvement. Team Achievements Juniors reaching varsity-level play and earning spots on their school teams. Collegiate Path Alumni moving on to collegiate golf programs and continuing their competitive journey. JUNIOR PATHWAY ## Four Groups. One Clear Path. Every junior enters at the level that matches their age and experience, then progresses through a structured pathway designed to build skill, confidence, and competitive readiness. NOTE: Little Linksters (Ages 4–7) has its own pricing plan and class passes, separate from the after-school memberships. Every card above shows complete member, guest, and class pack pricing — see the Academy Tuition section for details.
