Junior Golf
It's never too early to take up the game of a lifetime. Our goal for junior golfers within the BOYNE Golf Academy is to grow their game to their ability. We have developed a progression chart to see where your junior fits in and where they can take their game.
Stage One: The First Tee
The First Tee Program is designed to provide a fun, engaging golf atmosphere for children aged five and older. During these popular courses, trained coaches and volunteers integrate Nine Core Values (honesty, integrity, sportsmanship, respect, confidence, responsibility, perseverance, courtesy, and judgment) along with Nine Healthy Habits into the lifelong game of golf—helping to perpetuate traditions that have long served the Highlands golfing community.
Junior Clubs, Carts, and Tee Times
Cart Privileges & Tee Time Pricing
We want to give junior golfers every opportunity to get out and play our courses while being safe and responsible. Cart privileges are granted to any junior who has a valid license. If a junior is not of age to drive, The Moor and The Heather are both walkable courses available to any age.
The following tee time pricing is valid for junior play (with at least one paying adult):
- 7 BOYNE Golf Courses Prior to 2pm: $30
- 7 BOYNE Golf Courses After 2pm: Free
- Bay Harbor Golf Club Prior to 5pm: $150
- Bay Harbor Golf Club After 5pm: $30
Junior Has A Fit Program
Since 2003, Boyne Country Sports has been fitting young golfers with equipment that enables them to enjoy a day on the course.
The Junior Has A Fit program now has more than 11,000 kids who are strong and growing each season. Why join? It's simple, really. Whether you have a little golfer on your hands, our Junior Has A Fit Program is the perfect way to have gear that fits from season to season. There is no need to try and "squeeze a season or two" out of the equipment, thus sacrificing fit, comfort, and performance.
Enter the program.
Get brand new, properly fitted equipment.
Return equipment.
Get new equipment the following season.
Yes, it is that simple.
Kids develop habits at a young age...whether that's the correct stance while addressing the ball or the correct balance on the balls of their feet. A critical component to forming the proper habits is correctly fitted equipment. A golf shaft with the correct length will allow them the appropriate stance and swing.
Not only does the correct fit enable young golfers to form the correct habits at an early age, but it also makes for a more comfortable and enjoyable experience for them and their parents! Contact your nearest Boyne Country Sports location for additional questions and details.
How it Works:
- Extending the theory that a golfer's first shot can set the tone for an entire round, the Junior Golf Trade-Up Program sets the tone for whole lifetimes spent enjoying golf. It's as easy as 1, 2, 3
- Bring Junior to our Bloomfield Hills, Novi, Petoskey, or Traverse City Boyne Country Sports location, and we'll properly fit your young golfer.
- Once Juniors have outgrown their golf clubs, return them with the paperwork, and you will receive 100% credit toward new Junior equipment.
- Repeat steps 1 & 2 for a perfect fit the following year.
Important conditions: A $40 membership fee applies. Membership may not be transferred to another individual. Upon completion of the program, members may receive $100 credit toward any new adult set. A $10 seasonal exchange fee applies. Sets must be complete and in playable condition when returned.
