What Is Skyhawks Beginning Golf?

Skyhawks Beginning Golf introduces kids to golf using a games-based, play-anywhere approach. The program blends fun, skill-building, and repetition in a way that makes learning feel like play—not pressure.

We use specialized youth golf equipment so kids experience early success, even if they’ve never held a club before.

Skills your child will learn:

  • Putting

  • Chipping

  • Swing fundamentals

  • Grip, stance, posture

  • Sportsmanship and basic golf etiquette

It’s a safe, supportive space where kids can build confidence, improve coordination, and most importantly—have fun.

Where We Fit in the Youth Golf Ecosystem

Skyhawks Beginning Golf is the launch pad in the youth golf development pathway. We help kids take their first swing—literally and figuratively—before they move on to more advanced programs like local junior golf leagues or PGA Junior Golf.

Here’s how it breaks down:

  1. Skyhawks Beginning Golf – fun, foundational intro

  2. At-home and local practice – short courses, putting greens, backyard drills

  3. Structured leagues and clinics – PGA Junior Golf, youth tournaments

We ignite the spark. You help keep it going.
