Country Club of Leawood's Junior Golf Program

In 2024 we had great success with our junior program. We saw great improvement from players in all of our levels from our youngest 3 to 7 year old Little Linksters to our Advanced Academy group! In 2025 we are looking forward to ramping that success up even more and continue to help more juniors fall in love with this incredible game! We have attached flyers for several of our clinics that will be offered throughout the year and members can start signing up for them now. Remember that last year we actually sold out several of our summer classes so the earlier you sign up the better!

In 2025 we will continue to stress the importance of the juniors getting out on the golf course as we feel it is a vital part of them improving their games. We will continue to vary the yardages our juniors play from short yardages (work on short game specifically) to longer yardages (covering the full game). The goal is to provide a great mixture of longer distances and still working on the shorter distances (25, 50, 100, etc.) to keep the kids into it and motivated to improve. As always we will end the season with two fun competitions for the juniors. The dates for those are listed below.
 

Parent – Child Event

Sunday, July 13^th                              4:00 PM Shotgun

One of our favourite days of the year! I know my daughter is already planning our team outfit for the 2025 event! The format is Modified Chapman Alternate Shot, and the event includes a golf cart and prizes, covered under the junior golf fee for the 2025 season. The field will be split into junior golf divisions, with every team playing a full 9-hole round.

Junior Club Championship                                                       

Saturday & Sunday, August 9th & 10th
Tee Times Assigned Between 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Divisions:
• 9 & Under, 10-11, 12 & Older – 9-hole divisions (boys & girls compete separately).
• Advanced Juniors – 18-hole division (likely teeing off closer to noon).

This is a great chance for juniors to test their skills and compete in a fun and supportive environment!

CCL PGA Junior League
 

PGA Junior League Golf

PGA Junior League Golf is a very fun, low pressure event for our juniors. The idea behind this is to set up a team format that will be similar to what our youngest players use for other sports. As a part of the CCL PGA Junior League Team the players will receive a jersey with a number similar to other sports. I encourage you to check out the above website for more cool information about PGA Junior League and take a look at the website below featuring more information on what PGA Junior League is all about.

About PGA Junior League
 
Who is eligible? The PGA Junior League will be open to our players 13 and under.
 
What is the format? Each match will have 12 players playing. Those 12 players will split into four teams of three and each of them will play a 9-hole match against one of the teams from the other course. The 9-Hole match will be split into three 3-hole matches (each of these being worth one flag). The team with the most flags at the end of the matches is the winning team. During the matches, the players will play a scramble format.
 
When and where are the events? We will be in a league with Lake Quivira, Hallbrook and Blue Hills. We will play a home and away match with each team.
 
How do you get your junior into PGA Junior League? Contact the Golf Shop and let us know your junior would like to participate. The fees for the league will be $75 plus at least one session of the Advanced Academy.This will include playing in at least 4 of the matches as well as a weekly individual lesson and an on course practice ran by one of our Golf Professionals.
