What is PGA Jr. League

Golf with teammates, a jersey and a scoreboard

PGA Jr. League turns golf into a team sport. Kids play together instead of grinding alone on a range.

Matches use a team scramble, also called team best ball. Teammates each hit, pick the best shot and play the next one from there. Nobody gets stuck on a bad shot, the pace stays quick and newer players contribute right away.

Why kids love it

Built to keep young golfers coming back

A team, not a solo grind

Kids learn the game with friends and teammates cheering them on.

Matched by age and ability

Players compete in divisions against kids of similar age and skill.

Scramble keeps it fun

Team best ball means fewer frustrating holes and more good shots.

Coached by a PGA Professional

Weekly practice with a PGA Pro and coaches who know junior golf.

Real team jerseys

Every player gets a uniform. Yes, uniforms.

Short, kid-sized matches

About six holes and roughly two hours, so it fits a Saturday.

A typical week

One practice, one match, every week

The season runs six weeks with weekly practices, five matches and make-up dates at the end for rain outs.

  • Practice: Monday or Wednesday evening, with instruction from a PGA Professional and coaches. Start times move earlier as fall days get shorter.
  • Match: Saturday, tee off between 1 and 3pm, about two hours and roughly six holes.
  • Location: every practice and match is at Timber Point Golf Course in Great River.

PGA Jr. League is organized team play, not private lessons. Private junior lessons can be booked separately with our PGA Professionals.
