HEADING YOUTH GOLF PROGRAMS

Advanced Masters

In our Advanced Masters class, students transition from a parent/ child focus to player independent learning (No Parents). This class provides the opportunity to reinforce and build on the skills acquired in our Junior Masters golf class. In addition to continuing to focus on strong fundamental development, students will be introduced to golf course management, rules, and golf etiquette in a positive learning environment. This class is designed to prepare our golfers to play on the golf course and join our Junior Tee Level Class, and our Small Group Summer Golf Camps.

Deerfield Junior Golf Academy Travel Team

The Deerfield Junior Golf Academy Travel Team is a steppingstone for those junior golfers that want to play high school golf. The goal of this program is to prepare team members for competitive situations that they will face in IJGA events, and eventually on their high school team. Our travel teams meet for practice two times per week throughout the season. Each practice will focus on skill development through a series of competitive drills and exercises led by our professional staff. Participants in this class MUST have experience playing and keeping score. Members of our travel team are encouraged to play and practice on their own in addition to scheduled practices and matches. In addition to the two weekly team practices, our players will compete in a series of nine-hole matches as part of the North Shore Junior Golf Tour. These matches will occur at Deerfield golf club and at other local north shore clubs. Matches will take place on Saturdays for the fall and spring seasons, and on Mondays for the summer season. Team members will receive a team golf shirt or hat. Summer session has a vacation friendly option. Tournament round greens fees of $25 per player/per tournament not included.
