Junior golfers working together to make decisions
What's not to like, you get your kids and do what you need to do to help them learn and have fun? You just need to have the formal rules down to play in a qualifier but the freedom to make your league what you need is amazing.
One of the most significant benefits has been the increase in lesson revenue generated through PGA Jr. League. The program has given me an opportunity to build relationships with a larger number of junior golfers and their families, and those relationships have naturally translated into additional private lessons, clinics, and other instruction.
PGA Jr. League essentially acts as a feeder system for my instruction business. I am able to introduce families to my coaching in a team-based, fun environment, build trust with the players, and then provide additional instruction to those who want to improve. The result has been a meaningful bump in lesson revenue while simultaneously growing my junior student base.
PGA Jr. League creates a reason for families to spend more time at the club, not simply for a lesson, but for practices, matches, team events, and social experiences. That increased traffic can lead to additional food and beverage, merchandise, range, cart, and other facility revenue. More importantly, it gives families another reason to feel connected to the club.
It also strengthens the club's junior-golf offering. PGA Jr. League complements existing junior programs rather than competing with them, creating a natural pathway from introductory instruction to team golf and, ultimately, more advanced competitive opportunities.
Most importantly, the program helps the club build relationships with the next generation of members. When a child develops a positive connection with the club, the entire family becomes more engaged. That can have long-term implications for member satisfaction, retention, and future membership growth. PGA Jr. League materials specifically identify increased family involvement, member retention, and attracting new golfers as facility benefits.
Well organized, great support, great experience for juniors and parents
For us, this is the perfect way to introduce the game to youth. We treat it like any other rec sport. Training all season long with Game Days mixed in throughout the season to take their new skills to the course. Once on the course, they want to get better, making coaching eager athletes more effective.
Additionally, with Celebration Divisions in 13U and 17U All-Star events, the selected All-Stars still feel special even though their skill level cannot compete in the Competitive division.
Coaching the kiddos and seeing their excitement as their golf skills grow and they build a relationship with their teammates!
Getting the juniors out on the course seeing them work together and learning the game. Always enjoy seeing the juniors having fun!
I think for me is the key is being able to lower the barrier of entry to golf for juniors and their families. It also gives them the access to develop, socialize and for some players provides a new outlet/pathway to competitive golf.
The support we get from our Player Engagement Consultant. The freedom we have to run our programs the way that best suits our club. The support we receive from the PGA, especially Steve and Chuck on a national level.

PGA Jr. League is my favorite program to run each year. It has completely changed the atmosphere towards junior golf at our club. I would highly recommend this program to every club that is considering it. The numbers behind it back it up from a business standpoint and then some and the word of mouth it does for our club and junior program is incredible.
We love how competitive our juniors get during matches and it is great that their parents feel the same way.
I like the team format of the matches. The PGA does a very good job marketing the program. I like the focus on coaching and team learning.
