The Kierland Golf Club has developed a program that appeals to all golfers, even the game’s youngest players. The family-friendly golf club holds several clinics throughout the year geared towards children 8 to 15 years. The four-day clinic includes three hours of golf instruction each day that focuses on the fundamentals of putting, chipping, and full swing, as well as on-course play. Participants also get a lesson in golf etiquette, rules, and history on the game.

The Kierland Golf Club also offers junior golf fees. Children playing with their parents may play for half the price. Junior golf club rentals are also available. The friendly-family atmosphere continues at Mesquite, one of The Kierland Golf Club’s (three) nines, where junior tees are set up to help make the course more playable for the younger golfers.
