Junior Golf Handbook
The mission of the Junior Golf Committee is to enable the youth of our club to experience the great game of golf, through instruction, play, and competition.

To accomplish our mission, we have set Wednesday mornings aside as Junior Golf Day and the course is theirs. Medina Golf & Country Club's acclaimed program has groups of all ages and abilities, between the ages of 3 and 18. The program offers instructional sessions for the beginning golfer, to league play starting with 5 holes on the executive course through 18 hole on the championship course.

Juniors playing 18 holes can qualify for membership on the Medina Golf & Country Club Traveling Team which participates in the MGA's Junior Golf Program.

Ages: Open to Juniors age three (3) and to anyone who has not reached their 19th birthday before September 1 of the current golf year.

Leagues: The junior golf program is divided into the following leagues:

Little Linksters and Instruction Instruction Only
Executive 5 Holes
Executive 9-Hole Beginner (ages 9 and under) 9 Holes
Executive 9-Hole Intermediate (ages 10 and under) 9 Holes
