What Is Playgolf?

Playgolf is an international junior golfing program designed for children aged 5 to 12. Playgolf builds competence, confidence, and a lifelong love of the game through fun and skill-focused coaching.

How It Works

  • Playgolf brings its own driving range equipment making it easy and accessible.
  • All equipment provided: Clubs, balls, and safety gear provided.

The Three Stages of Development

  1. Beginner: Children start in a playful, age-appropriate environment, learning basic golf skills with a focus on fun and participation.
  2. Intermediate: Once the fundamentals are in place, the program shifts toward refining swing techniques and learning short-game (chipping, putting) and long-game basics.
  3. Advanced: At this stage, children focus on stroke-specific skills—perfecting techniques in chipping, pitching, putting, and full swing to improve performance.

Why It Works for Kids

  • Fun-first approach: Playgolf keeps children engaged through age-appropriate games and activities.
  • Structured coaching plan: Kids follow a clear progression where each stage builds on the last, helping them feel successful and motivated.
  • Qualified, child-focused coaching.

A Great Choice for Parents

  • Playgolf is open to all skill levels, from beginners to those with some experience.
  • Playgolf teaches technical skills and promotes confidence, enjoyment, and sportsmanship.

Playgolf offers a well-designed, progressive golfing curriculum for elementary-aged children. This class is perfect for parents looking to introduce their children to the game in a supportive, skill-building environment.

*Note: Sessions will be offered for different age groups during the school year.
