Children ages 2 to 6 receive instruction on the putting green and driving range while children between the ages of 7 and 17 play 9-holes of golf from our US Kids Golf Tees. Clubs are provided for all children to use who do not have their own set. A barbecue is available all afternoon for the children and their parents and each child will receive a commemorative t-shirt & picture along with "golf goodies" donated by area businesses.
