Country Club of Leawood's Junior Golf Program

The CCL Junior Golf program continues to excel in advancing players into great playing opportunities and creating golfers that are sure to love the game for a lifetime! Last year we had a member help Team Kansas qualify for the PGA Junior League Nationals in Frisco, TX. In addition to the great success of those players, we had almost 20 of our players make high school golf teams at their respective schools! Seeing the kids get better makes this so much fun! We have some great opportunities for players of all levels. See below for details! 

Junior Golf Clubs, Shoes and Other Apparel

For our clinics we do prefer that each junior has their own set of clubs, and we require appropriate golf apparel. We are more than happy to help out with this and offer a discount off listed price on US Kids clubs or other junior club options. We also have access to apparel and shoes from several different companies. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE you to plan ahead for your junior. We can get you pricing on a good set of golf clubs just by knowing how tall they are and can help you make sure that your junior is ready to hit the ground running in 2026!

CCL PGA Junior League
 

PGA Junior League Golf

PGA Junior League Golf is a very fun, low pressure event for our juniors. The idea behind this is to set up a team format that will be similar to what our youngest players use for other sports. As a part of the CCL PGA Junior League Team the players will receive a jersey with a number similar to other sports. I encourage you to check out the above website for more cool information about PGA Junior League and take a look at the website below featuring more information on what PGA Junior League is all about.

CCL PGA Junior League Travel Team

This team will be our players that have shown an interest in improving their game and starting to play at a competitive level. We will play between 8 and 10 home/away matches with clubs such as Blue Hills, Lake Quivira, Hallbrook and Brookridge. The team will be practicing once a week in the spring and twice a week in the summer. To be included in the traveling PGA Jr. League Team we expect players to make an effort to be at our Spring Practices and progress into attending our Summer practices and matches. Click Here for a flyer with more details.

Who is eligible? The PGA Junior League will be open to our players 13 and under (can’t turn 14 before July 1^st).

What is the format? Each match will have 12 players playing. Those 12 players will split into four teams of three and each of them will play a 9-hole match against one of the teams from the other course. The 9-Hole match will be split into three 3-hole matches (each of these being worth one flag). The team with the most flags at the end of the matches is the winning team. During the matches the players will play a scramble format (each player hits and they choose the best ball and then play from there).

How do you get your junior into PGA Junior League? Let the Golf Shop know your junior has interest in playing in the league and plan on attending the Spring practices.

Little Linksters

This is for our juniors just getting into the game from ages 3-6 years old. The group meets on Saturday mornings for 30 minutes and is a great way to start your junior out with a love of the game. We keep the Linksters playing different games every week and make it fun to keep their attention while we have them!
