Youth Development / Summer Swing Camps
The Glenview Junior Golf Academy
The Glenview Park Golf Club and Glenview Prairie Club have teamed up to bring you the Glenview Junior Academy. The Glenview Junior Academy is a unique, fun, and exciting program designed to provide professional instruction as well as promote growth and development for every junior golfer through each stage of their development.
The Glenview Junior Academy is a six-level progressive program focusing on one specific area of the game at a time. At each level, or “hole”, juniors attend four 50 minute group lessons per month based on our flexible academy schedule. Classes will be filled with fun learning activities, golf fitness games and contests. Everyone will start at level 1; at the end of every month each junior will be evaluated on whether or not they are ready to progress to the next level. This allows all junior golfers to learn the game of golf comfortably at his/her own pace.
Max/Min: 8/4 per class
Fee: $115/month for both residents and nonresidents
