Come Join the Hitting Herons!
We are excited to offer PGA Jr. League at Heron Glen once again! A great way for boys and girls to learn golf in a team environment with expert coaching from PGA Professional captains!
Open to boys & girls ages 7-13, players all of all skill levels are welcome to join, from true beginners to competitive golfers.
What’s Included?
- 10 Team Practices

When?
- Season will run from April 17th – June 26th
- Practices will be held on Monday afternoons (Excluding Memorial Day) 6:00pm – 7:30pm | Matches will be held on Sunday afternoons (Times TBD)
How Does It Work?
- Each team is broken down into two-person pairs who play together in games.
- All games are played in a 2-person scramble format. This means both players hit drives, the best shot is selected, then each player plays from the selected spot. This process continues until the ball is holed.
- Within a PGA Jr. League game, pairs play head-to-head in 9-hole matches. Each match is broken into three flags. Each flag is three holes in a row, and each team has the opportunity to earn points at the end of each flag.
How Much Does it Cost?
- Membership Fee: $399

Event Rules & Tie Breakers
USGA Rules will govern all play with the exception of our local rules
- Local Rules
- Environmentally Sensitive Areas – These areas are marked in yellow and/or red stakes with green caps. Players may not enter, play from, or retrieve their golf balls from these areas. There are drop zones on the opposite sides of these areas in which players may place their ball within two clubs lengths of the sign. There is a one stroke penalty.
- Players MUST take full relief (swing/stance not touching plants) (without penalty) from the Environmentally Protected Areas.
- Players may take relief (without penalty) to the nearest point of relief, no closer to the hole when a ball comes to rest in an aeration hole
- Balls must be played down in the bunkers. If a bunker does not have a rake in it, you may lift, smooth, and replace the ball exactly as you found it. If the ball comes to rest in a footprint or unkept portion, this is when you may implement the lift, smooth, replace local rule. If the ball has a poor lie or is plugged, this does not apply.
- Ties
- In the event of a tie, all ties will be decided by the recommended USGA rule of: Last 6-holes, if tie still remains, last 3-holes, then last 1-hole
