Instructional Programs:
Our junior instruction is led by our Director of Player Development and Junior Golf expert, John Potter. The programs offered allow kids the opportunity to grow each season or as their games progress.
Scramble league for junior golfers (ages 7-13)! Starting in January and running through March, junior participants will have a chance to play Augusta CC, Bay Hill, Pine Valley, Cypress Point, Pinehurst No 2, and other world class golf courses on a state-of-the-art simulator, right here at Prestwick. Participants should have basic prior instruction and be able to hit a golf ball with some level of consistency. A great way to introduce an element of competition with the guidance of a coach and without the pressure of individual performance – very laid-back and introductory. Learn more and join, here:
