Junior Golf



James River Country Club has always been known for its strong junior golf program and great junior golfers that come from the Club. The golf professionals put on a first class junior program for all ages covering all skill levels from a beginner to an advanced player.

Junior Golf Program (Designed for Young Golfers)
The Junior Golf program is designed to introduce young golfers to the game in a fun, yet educational environment.  All aspects of the game are covered including putting, chipping, bunker play, full swing, rules and, most importantly, safety along with golf etiquette.  Golf is a sporting activity that juniors can enjoy and compete in throughout their whole lives.  There are many aspects of the game that have a direct correlation to things in everyday life.  If some of these things can be instilled at a young age, a person has a better chance in becoming a good golfer as well as a well-rounded person.  

Advanced Junior Golf Program (Designed for Intermediate or Advanced Golfers)
For a junior golfer seeking golf instruction at a higher level, the golf professionals provide a first class program for you.  Juniors can receive detailed lessons in a group or individual format in a comfortable, learning environment.  With a small student-to-teacher ratio, juniors are busy in the summer preparing for their Junior Club Championship that wraps up the season.

Some junior golf events include:

  • Two- Week Long Junior Camps
  • Tournament Series
  • Junior Golf Banquet
  •  Putting Championships
  • Junior Club Championships
