I'm excited to introduce a new 5-week junior program called "GVC Birdies" for children ages 3–6.
Starting in July, we will have a 60 minute clinic on the Driving Range for juniors that will provide an environment for young children to learn the basics of golf. All clinics will start at 3pm, and will include a full swing, chipping, and putting activity.
