Highlands Golf Park's Junior Golf Learning programming includes weekly Ongoing Learning Programs and two different week-long Summer Camps.
We have been teaching kids golf for over 25 years. What we have learned over those years is that kids learn differently than adults, and we have strived to serve those students better each and every year. We are now convinced that the U.S. Kids Golf strategy and mission aligns with our work in this regard, and have implemented U.S. Kids Golf programming here.

U.S. Kids Golf at Highlands Junior Golf Academy Organization - The U.S. Kids Golf program is a ready-made and proven curriculum that features three levels of instruction booklets. In each of the levels, players learn five core skills:
• Putting – Introduction into US Kids Golf learning program and Fundamentals of Putting
• Around the Green – Chipping, Pitching and Sand
• Full Swing – Irons, Hybrids, and Driver
• Knowledge – Rules, Etiquette, Sportsmanship and Equipment
• Scoring – Playing the Holes
Milestones - When a young player passes a skills challenge, he or she celebrates the accomplishment with an achievement pin. The HJGA Scoreboard is a showcase of a player’s achievement pins and progress.
Communication - The booklets, achievement pins, HJGA Scoreboard, and US Kids Golf Player Pathway program work in unison and help coaches maintain ongoing communication with the players’ parents.
Parents as Co-Coaches - Parents play a critical role in the development of a junior golfer. From the correct preparation for class to the all-important engagement of establishing goals and the progression towards them, we rely on you to provide the encouragement and support that is so significant in determining the success of your child's love of the game. It is critical that parents or guardians are committed to this philosophy, so we expect our students’ parents or guardians to become Co-Coaches in their young players' journeys from beginner to lifelong golfer.
