Junior Golf Program

The Golf Club at Yankee Trace is a strong supporter of junior golf with many camps, clinics, and junior leagues offered throughout the year.  Our PGA staff believes that juniors should learn the fundamentals of golf, have a clear understanding of the rules and practice proper etiquette at all times to play safely on our course. Current policy states juniors must be a minimum of 5 years of age to practice on the driving range and be at least 6 years of age to play on the course.  Juniors under the age of 5 may practice on the Clubhouse practice putting green when accompanied by an adult.
