Junior Golf

A thoughtful path into fall play

This fall, Operation 36 returns with a clear weekly rhythm: guided coaching, structured practice stations, and on-course league play that lets juniors test new skills in real scoring situations. Each session is designed to keep progress visible and the game approachable for families following along.

Players advance by reaching scoring milestones from age-appropriate yardages, then move back as confidence and consistency grow. Along the way, Avondale's coaching team will focus on setup, short-game touch, and course awareness, the habits that help young players carry improvement from the practice tee to the course.

Registration is open for the fall session, with space planned for both returning families and first-time juniors ready to build a strong foundation in a welcoming club setting.
