Junior Programs

We "walk the walk" in ensuring that there is a future for golf in Muskoka. We run some of the most extensive junior programs - including one week programs - for players of all ages. Yes we start them young here - where the kids use a "Roller" not a putter, and a "Launcher" not a wedge, to loft tennis balls at golf targets ( we might call them the pin in more formal golf jargon).

We also believe in personal attention  - so our programs have a maximum student to instructor ratio of 6:1.

Much of what we teach is  based on the RCGA's Future Links principles.
