Collicutt Siding Golf Club

Junior Golf

Our junior golf academy has a new name!!!  We are now called “Dream Junior Golf Academy” at Collicutt Siding.

We are very excited to have Dream Developments on as our name sponsors (www.dream.ca)

We are taking online registrations. Go to http://collicuttjrgolf.com/ to register

At Dream Junior Golf Academy, we are the proud host of Canada’s largest Junior Golf Academy.  Our academy is an introduction to the game of golf to boys and girls ages 4 to 14.  We operate in a fun group setting with 3 stations (full swing, putting and chipping).  The kids can sign up for either the Monday sessions or the Wednesday sessions, whatever works best for the family’s schedule.  We do limit signing up to one or the other.  We offer 3 times on Monday or Wednesday (5:00, 6:00 or 7:00).  Parents can choose on a weekly basis what time to show up, it does not matter to us.

Once the kids are here we meet at the picnic tables at the back of the driving range and divide up into 3 groups (one for each station).  Every 15 minutes we rotate to the next station giving the kids some time at all 3 stations every week.  After the session kids are treated to a hot dog and a drink every week and if they are fortunate enough to sink their “challenge putt” or “challenge chip” they will receive a ring pop for a prize.

If the kids have golf clubs,  bring them, if not, do not worry , we have plenty.

The Junior Academy starts the Monday after the May Long Weekend (May 28th) and goes right through to the end of July.  We are working on taking registrations online and the kids will receive a first tee gift ( that sign up for the season).    Please “Like” us on Facebook for updates.

We do this all for the amazing low cost of $55 per child, thanks to our many sponsors.  If you are interested in sponsoring this terrific program, please contact Lyndon at lyndon@collicuttgolf.com  for details.

Thank you to Dream Developments and both the Crossfield Recreation Board plus the C.O.R.A. program for their support, without these organizations this program would not survive.
