Junior Golf

Mission: Our Junior Golf Program is designed to serve the evolving needs of families and ensure that the children we introduce to the game develop the foundation necessary to enjoy playing golf for the rest of their lives.

2019 Junior Golf Outline

The objective of the Junior Golf Program is to provide our children with the opportunity to learn the skills and etiquette of golf and create an environment for them to develop a love of the game.

2019 Highlights

Spring Instructional clinics are geared to the young / beginner junior (approximately ages 5-12) on Saturdays from May 4th through June 8th all from 4-5PM. Junior golfers are separated in groups for ages 5-9 and 10-12, respectively. Ages 10-12 is our "Intro to the Links" group and will play our new "The Links" Par 3 play area or golf course. Cost: $15 per clinic.

Mendham Golf and Tennis will also offer a variety of summer sessions. These sessions are four day programs (Tu-W-TH-FR) held during 4 weeks of summer and geared towards beginner and intermediate juniors ages 5-14. There will be a time change from previous years to allow for some time on the golf course in addition to etiquette, safety, short game and full swing instruction. All ages 10 am - Noon.

For those players that want to grow their understanding of the game! Whether they want to pursue playing in College, or maybe want to become a PGA Professional, this session is designed to grow the students understanding of the game of golf. We will discuss how & why we custom fit clubs, how to change a grip, and also what to look for when giving a lesson. By the end of the session it is our goal to provide students with the knowledge to help each other out with their swings on the range, and on the golf course, so we can grow the game of golf together!

Junior Experience:

In this program designed only for our MGTC juniors, players will gain experience on and off the golf course. This league will help juniors develop comfort and on course knowledge in hopes of encouraging their growth in the game of golf.

Junior Certification: Juniors ages 13 and older may play by themselves at certain times, if they are certified, in accordance with Club guidelines. Participation in at least 3 spring clinics is also recommended for any junior prior to certification. The certification process includes a written test and playing with the Professional Staff. Please contact the Golf Shop to have your child certified.

Mendham Golf & Tennis Club has incorporated learning tees throughout the golf course. These tees are designed to encourage the introduction and retention of junior golfers into this great game. Juniors, based on their skill level, will be encouraged to play from a designated tee color. After shooting a “target score” or better twice from their current tees, they will graduate to the next color. With the introduction of the Learning Tees, we believe that our juniors will have the opportunity to have a sense of accomplishment and progression without being overwhelmed by the difficulties of a full length golf course.
