Junior Golf Program
The Golf Club at Yankee Trace is a firm supporter of junior golf with our many camps, clinics, and junior leagues.  Our staff believes that juniors must know the fundamentals of golf, the rules, etiquette, and basics of the game to play safely on our course.  Our policy is that juniors must be 6 years of age to play on the course, and 5 years of age to practice on the driving range.  Juniors under the age of 5 may practice on the Clubhouse putting green when accompanied by an adult.
