Junior Golf Clinic Schedule 2026

Monday  8:30am to 10:30am Clinic (2017-2018 born) 
                10:45am to 12:45pm Clinic (2015-2016 born)

The Monday and Tuesday Clinics will be 2 hours long for each group. There will be 4 instructors with each clinic and the group will be divided into different stations. Each group will move around from the practice green, to the practice area beside hole #3 and the short course. We ask that the junior golfers be dropped off no more than 15 minutes before the start of their clinic and be picked up after their clinic unless they are playing that day.

PLEASE NOTE: We encourage siblings and friends who are travelling together to participate in the same clinic to avoid parents having to make multiple drives each day. Please talk with Chad, Andrew or Adam for more information regarding groups for your child.

Every junior golfer will be confirmed in only one clinic time

Wednesday Morning Junior Course: Every junior will be assigned a start time on Wednesday to play the short course. We will have instructors monitoring groups and we would encourage parents to volunteer to walk around with groups as well. This is a great opportunity for the juniors to learn how to play the game of golf and have fun while doing so!

The Dedication Award

The junior program will recognize one junior golfer who have dedicated their summer to improving their golf game. This award will be presented to the athlete who best represent overall dedication to the game of golf.

End of Season UCT Banquet

Our end of season UCT Banquet will take place on Wednesday August 12th following the junior Club Championship. ALL juniors are invited. The banquet will include dinner and prizes for all juniors who participate in the junior club championship.
