Junior Golf
Junior golf starts here
Junior golfers are the cornerstone of South Muskoka. Our mission is to offer an inclusive and welcome learning environment for youth of all ages and abilities. Fun is at the core of everything we do. Joining South Muskoka as a junior member ensures priority access to our Junior Program, preferred pricing on our instructional clinics and camps, and access to our member events.
Registration for each program will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, however, priority will be given to South Muskoka Junior Members. Most programs require a minimum of 5 participants to run.
PLEASE NOTE: We strive to keep our junior programming at a reasonable cost and recognize that families have varying financial situations. At the end of the day, we never want money to be a barrier to your child’s access to the game of golf. If you require assistance in any capacity, we would be happy to work with you to find a suitable solution. Please know that all correspondence will be treated with the strictest confidence.
Please note that Junior Night is currently only available to returning members/participants. If your child did not participate last year but is interested in joining this year, please contact Head Golf Professional Jacklynn Miller to be placed on a waitlist. Thank you for your understanding.
Monday nights are dedicated to juniors at South Muskoka Curling & Golf Club. The course and practice areas are blocked from 3:30p-6pm specifically for junior use, with some kids playing a full 9 and others only playing a few holes. Our PGA of Canada professionals run two separate instructional sections at no extra charge for dedicated age groups:
4:00pm – 4:45pm: Ages 10+
5:00pm – 5:45pm: Ages 5-9
Our 5-9 year olds will often use the short course on the driving range to build their skillset.
Junior members receive priority access to Junior Night.
Our 3-day golf camps are designed for beginner to intermediate golfers looking to learn the game alongside their peers. Participants will be introduced to short and long-game fundamentals, group activities, golf etiquette and sportsmanship. A daily snack and lunch are included each day. Every camp is led by a PGA of Canada Professional.

South’s Junior Academy is designed for junior golfers looking to grow their competitive skillset. This program pairs perfectly with juniors looking to participate on the Club’s Pepsi Titleist Tour team and partake in other competitions. Academy participants will receive dedicated weekly instruction, on-course lessons and activities throughout the summer months. Participants in this program are expected to attend all weekly practice sessions, play regularly in Junior Night and eligible club events, and participate in the Pepsi Tour. An orientation session will be arranged once registration is complete. This program is limited to 16 players. Priority will be given to Pepsi Tour participants; should we receive over 16 registrations, a try-out will be scheduled for May 6, 13, and 20th (9-hole rounds).
