Learn to Golf Program

This is a year round program offered by Pierce County Parks and Recreation in conjunction with Premier Golf. The Learn to Golf Program will guide juniors through the introduction of the game to learning the skills necessary to enjoy the game for a lifetime or compete at any level, if so desired.

Juniors that are new to the program but not new to the game do not need to start at the beginner level to benefit from this program. Any junior may contact the Golf Professionals at Lake Spanaway and schedule a skills test to determine their position in the program. The skills test to pass into a level is universal. Any junior may set up an appointment during the year to be evaluated.

Beginner Level Class:

• For ages 6-15
• Fee is $75 (6 weeks)

Class instruction will be structured for first timers to learn fundamentals, proper technique, rules of the game, and much more. Beginner Level students will be provided with clubs if they do not have their own.

• Level 1 - Putter & 7 Iron
• Level 2 - 5 Iron and 5 Wood
• Level 3 - 9 Iron and 3 Wood

Each level will teach the skills necessary for using each club in both full swing and short game settings. Upon completion of the Beginner Level 3, juniors will be ready to advance to Intermediate Levels.
