JUNIOR GOLF LEAGUES The 6-hole, 9-hole and 18-hole Junior Golf Leagues give advanced junior golfers the opportunity to have fun and compete each week for prizes that are redeemable at the end of the season. We use a variety of tournament formats to introduce golfers to the competitive side of the game while subsequently teaching teamwork, etiquette and honesty along the way.

The league fees listed below will include entry into the 2020 Junior Golf Championship on July 21, as well as a voucher good for one meal before or after each weekly event.

A junior is right for this league if they have significant on-course experience, know and follow the basic rules and etiquette of golf, show satisfactory golfing ability and can maintain pace of play. Poor etiquette and or/cheating can disqualify you from future league events at the discretion of the professionals at Red Hawk Ridge.

Due to the popularity of the Junior Golf Leagues and to give everyone a fair chance to participate in 2020, we will be holding a lottery for all spots. Lottery registration will be available online beginning April 15 and continue through May 8. Those selected will be notified via email May 9. Payment must be received by May 23 or your spot will be offered to the next available person. We will hold separate drawings for each league, so be sure to register for the appropriate league.

ROOKIES (AGES 6-9) SNAG Red Hawk Ridge has adopted the SNAG (Starting New At Golf) program to its curriculum for juniors in the Rookie age division.

SNAG is a new and fun way to introduce kids to golf. SNAG contains all the elements of golf, but utilizes modified equipment (i.e. Tennis balls, Velcro targets and lightweight clubs with large club heads).

SNAG incorporates specialized teaching methods to deliver results at a higher success rate than students would get out of hitting real balls with real clubs. We provide all of the equipment for SNAG, so please do not bring a set from home.

This class is recommended for juniors who have no prior golf experience and would prefer a fun transition into golf rather than jumping right into this highly intricate game.

Important Note: All SNAG classes are held at Bison Park and NOT at Red Hawk Ridge.
