The Juneau Golf Club is the parent organization of the Juneau Junior Golf Club, providing opportunities for youth age 12 to 18 in the City and Borough of Juneau, Alaska.  The Juneau Golf Club has contributed funds to support this valuable program as well as acted as a primary sponsor of local golf tournaments held to benefit Junior Golf in Juneau.  Through the generous financial support and enthusiasm of the Juneau Golf Club members, the dream of a junior program in Juneau was realized in April, 1998.

 

     Junior club members receive golf instruction and guidance in not only the sport, but also the spirit and eitquette of the game.  Junior members have fun both learning and playing locally with members of their own age group.  The Junior Club also provides travel to golf courses elsewhere in the state.  Previous road trips have included golf courses in Gustavus and Haines.

 

     The Junior program provides a great way to spend the summer for the youth of Juneau.  A large part of the usual golf expenses such as green fees, range balls and instruction are inclusive with membership, thanks to fundraising efforts by the Junior Club members themselves and the generous support of the Juneau Golf Club.
