PGA Jr. Leagues
Our PGA Jr. League program is a fun, social and inclusive opportunity for boys and girls age 9-15 to learn how to compete on the course in a low-pressure environment. Players have a weekly practice and play 6-hole matches with a partner in a scramble format. Great program for making new friends and learning how to become a well-rounded golfer. This is a developmental league for beginners to recreational player level but not overly competitive. All 5 matches and 5 practices are held at the Bridges of Poplar Creek CC. Beginner friendly.
