Junior Camps
Keller Golf Course and Manitou Ridge Junior Camps
Keller Golf Course and Manitou Ridge Golf Course will be hosting junior golf programs for golfers ages 5–14. All skill levels welcome!
Mini-Golfers is the only class with an age restriction and includes junior golfers between the ages of 5-7. The progression following Mini-Golfers leads to Birdie Basics, which is followed by Growing Golfers. Golfers who are at least 11 years of age after completing Growing Golfers will have an opportunity to join the Keller Boys and Girls Golf Academy. Class advancement and progression will be skill based.
*Junior golfers who are not in the 5-7 age group, but are new to the game, will start with Birdie Basics.
This year, Keller Golf Course and Manitou Ridge will be offering complimentary 9 holes of golf for our junior participants and one adult guest every Sunday evening after 5 p.m. within the dates the program is offered (3-week period).
