| Minneapolis Golf - Junior League - The Ponds
Ask any golfer if they could change one thing about their golf experience and you'll hear the same thing over and over - "I wish I would have started at an earlier age". The sad fact is that there just are not many kid-friendly places to play. Many Minneapolis golf courses are too difficult, too crowded, and too intimidating for a young player to have a good experience. Not so at The Ponds Golf Course.
Junior League is for kids ages 8-19. The Ponds Junior League promotes the best aspects of the game - fun, sportsmanship, integrity, and respect for the game and other players. The mission of The Ponds Junior Golf League is to instill a sense of sportsmanship, an appreciation of fair and honest competition, and an attitude of courtesy and respect for tournament officials, club members, spectators, and fellow golfers.
Registration ends Wednesday, June 1st. Play runs for 10 weeks beginning the week of June 8th and concludes the week of August 10th. Players play on Wednesdays from 7am to 10am. The $100 registration fee is for doughnuts, awards and banquet at the end. The weekly $11 is for green fees.
We offer one of the most popular youth player development programs. We emphasize simple, easy to understand instruction of effective swing fundamentals that will last a lifetime. Lesson topics will include: Full swing - Short game - Putting.
There are limited spots available.
