Golf is more than a game, it’s a chance to build confidence, coordination, and community. At Jen Woods Golf, our junior programs are designed to be fun-first, inclusive, and built around how kids actually learn best: through play, movement, and connection.
Whether your child is picking up a club for the first time, returning to build their skills, or exploring competitive play, there’s a place for them here.

Ready to join a program but not sure where to start?
Check out our FAQ section below to find the best fit for your junior golfer.
Is your junior/family new to golf?
Great! Start with our Saturday Series for beginners. This program is perfect for getting your junior hooked on learning to play golf and feeling comfortable on the course.
My junior golfer has 2-3 years of experience and is ready for coaching. Should I sign up for Level 2 or request private lessons with Coach Jen?
Let’s set up an interview to discuss whether group options or private instruction will best support your junior’s learning and keep the game fun. Families interested in Level 2 programs can apply via email or phone.
Why is there such a high emphasis on games and structured play in the Saturday Series Program?
Research shows that youth thrive when fundamental movements are prioritized before technical skills. Our approach ensures long-term success, confidence, and healthy development in golf.
My junior golfer likes to hit golf balls and play sometimes, but I can’t take them out as much as I’d like. What are the options?
Juniors aged 13+ are encouraged to play independently on the golf course. For guidance, consider booking an on-course playing lesson with Coach Jen to help your junior learn the game without focusing on scores.
Are you currently working with another golf coach and looking for a change?
We recommend being upfront with your current coach about your decision. Schedule an in-person meeting with Coach Jen to explore the best service options and coaching expectations for your junior golfer.
