Junior Golf
Young golfers are very welcome at our club. We have a positive attitude toward them and encourage them to use our professional coaching programmes, and take part in our varied competitive and social golf through the year.
We emphasise the fun and sportsmanship of the game.
Both Maraenui and Awatoto courses host a junior club.
We have both introductory and advanced programmes hosted by our professionals and senior golfers, with a low student-teacher ratio.

KIDZ GOLF ... for beginners aged 8 - 12
Teaches the fundamentals to the beginner at our Awatoto Public Course. Your future star will learn swing, pitching, putting, rules and more. The programme is demonstration oriented with plenty of opportunity to try out the skills that are taught.
 
STAGE 2
The next step aimed at young golfers with prior experience, through play or our Kidz Golf programme, who want to continue with the game. More in-depth than the Beginners programme and featuring more one-on-one instruction from one of our professionals and greater opportunity for hands-on practice and play.
 
STAGE 3
For young golfers ready for competitive play. Play with other juniors on Sunday mornings, supervised by our Junior Coordinators. If selected on performance and behaviour, receive one-on-one instruction from one of our professionals.
 
ADVANCED
