Duran Junior Golf Academy
Duran Academy of Golf’s Junior Program is geared towards the long term development of each individual junior golfer and a learn to play approach. We have
program options that can cater to all ages of all levels. Each program description below will highlight which program may fit your junior golfer and their
goals.
Junior Golf Mission Statement
Our mission at Duran Golf club is to give every child an opportunity to experience and enjoy the game of golf by breaking down any barriers that may be in
the way. We have adopted the slogan of “Accessibility and Affordability” for junior golf.
My experience with golf as kid is what formed my philosophy and why I feel more kids are not playing golf. As a kid, it was not easy to provide a junior
golfer with clubs, green fees and lessons. Therefore, a personal mission of mine is to not let that keep any kid away from this great game and break the
stereotype of golf being an expensive sport. Therefore, Duran Golf Club has an entire rental fleet of all USKG Ultralight sets (39”-63”), both right and
left handed. The clubs are available for kids to rent at no cost for any junior instructional program and at $5-10 for on course play.
Our unique programs allow any player from any level and age to jump right in and participate. Our after-school junior development program and summer camps
incorporate the USKG Learning Program to provide a structured learning environment. Getting kids together in groups encourages them to be a part of a team.
Think back when you were a kid and why you went to your little league practices, because your friends were there and you knew it was going to be FUN! We
want to get kids excited about the game and in turn they will learn to play a game for life.
