Boys and girls 10 through 18 years old are eligible to participate in the Wichita Junior Golf program. The junior must be 10 no later than August 31 of the current year.

The first year a junior enrolls in the program, he/she must enroll in one of the beginner programs at Auburn Hills or Sierra Hills. If the golf professional and the volunteer leader determine that a junior shows enough golf skill as well as knowledge of the golf rules to advance to a playing program, the junior may change programs during the season.

The beginners program provides instruction in rules and etiquette, chipping, putting and the full swing. One class day is spent on the golf course for 3 holes of play. The junior golfer spends only one summer in the beginners program and advances the next summer to one of the other five golf courses.

In the regular program, the junior golfers play on the course every Monday. Scores are recorded to determine the junior’s advancement in the program to reach the 18 hole level. Instruction in rules and etiquette and golf skills are also given every week. The 18 hole group has the opportunity to be involved in team play with juniors from the other courses.
