Junior Player Development

 

Nationally Recognized. Proven Results. Built for Future Champions.

Our Junior Player Development Program is one of the top youth golf training environments in the nation — designed for juniors who want to work hard, develop confidence, and build lifelong skills both on and off the course.

Through the proven Operation 36 model, we create a clear and exciting pathway that supports players from beginner to competitive tournament levels. Families trust our program because it produces real, measurable improvement, and juniors love it because it drives personal progress and gives them a structured place to grow at their own pace.

*2026 SPRING REGISTRATION OPENS 1/19/2026*

Step 1

 

Learn & Develop Skills

Juniors train twice weekly in high-energy, structured practices led by our certified coaching team.

Each session groups players by division to ensure they are learning at the appropriate pace, with drills designed to build:

  • Strong fundamentals
  • Course management skills
  • Athletic awareness
  • Confidence and consistency
  • Our 6:1 student-to-coach ratio ensures every junior receives the individualized attention needed to progress quickly.

Step 2

 

Play 9 Holes

All juniors begin in Division 1 and work toward the challenge of shooting 36 or better for 9 holes.

Once achieved, they advance to the next division—continuing through all 10 progressions until they reach the ultimate milestone:

Shooting par (36) from every division!

This nationally proven model ensures progress is measurable, motivating, and exciting for both players and parents.

Step 3

 

Train, Play & Track Your Progress

The Operation 36 app keeps players engaged outside of practice by providing:

  • Guided practice plans
  • Training games
  • On-course stats and scoring
  • Progress tracking through every division
  • This allows juniors to practice with purpose, build consistency, and stay motivated all year long.

Each semester is five weeks long with four tournaments scheduled each semester. You get to choose up to two tournaments each semester. Note there is a limit for each tournament so make sure you select which tournament(s) you wish to sign up for as soon as tournament registration opens to ensure your spot. Tournament registration will open the first Friday of each semester and an email and push notification will be sent out.

We recommend choosing a Monday/Tuesday as your junior(s) first practice and choosing Wednesday/Thursday as their second practice. This will ensure they are working on more than one subject each week to get the most out of each session.

No, practices are only good for one semester.

You will be notified through the Op36 App and received an email if practice is canceled. If practice is canceled, we will do our best to makeup. NOTE: We have an indoor teaching facility that we use on rainy days, so practice does not get canceled often.

You will receive an Op36 App notification and email with instructions for registering.

No, unfortunately there is no tournament refund. You have until the first Friday of each semester to adjust your package.

You will be sent a 2026 Junior Contract that will have your card information saved into our system. We will use that card info throughout 2026 for any junior related programs you sign up for.

You will start by playing nine holes from Level 1, where the course is 225 yards long, meaning 25 yards per hole. Every hole is a Par 4, which is your target amount of strokes to hole the ball. Do this for 9 holes to shoot 36! Your goal is to shoot 36 or better for nine holes. When you achieve this, you level up and the course gets progressively longer. This helps you gradually develop your skills without feeling overwhelmed.

Caddies are either a parent, guardian or family friend of the player. The responsibilities of the caddy is to drive them around in a cart each hole, help with club/shot selection, maintain a good pace of play while providing them positive reinforcement throughout the match.

Each junior gets one personal makeup each semester and must let us know 24 hours in advance which day they plan to makeup. If we cancel class, we will send out options for making that class up on another day.
