Junior Golf Program

Open to boys and girls (aged 5 to 13 years old) and organised to coincide with every term of the school year, these regular weekly clinics are designed to provide children with the opportunity to have fun, improve their game and technique, build friendships and introduce them to golf.

Spring Valley Golf Club is MyGolf Centre (Australia’s nationwide junior golf program) and we currently offer regular Saturday and Sunday MyGolf Clinics.
