PGA JUNIOR LEAGUE Dates: June - August Recommended Ages: 7 - 13 Fee: $300/Child Fee (includes team jersey, and a t-shirt, welcome pizza party, swag, PGA instruction, and end of the season banquet) PGA Jr. League is a summer-long program that features team scramble matches against other local Fargo-Moorhead facilities.

The PGA Jr. League program also includes weekly practice sessions at Oxbow on Wednesdays at 6:30 PM. PGA Jr. League is open to Golf Members, grandchildren of Golf Members, and Social Members Parent Expectations: We are asking parents of the PGA Junior League to attend ½ of the matches their child plays. Parents are important for support, score keeping and assisting with pace of play. Since PGA Junior League is a “team” format, participation is key. Thus, it is very important parents communicate well in advance if Juniors cannot participate during a given week. Short notice cancellations and "no show’s” make it difficult to field a team.
