The skills that children can be gained from golf is endless. Mini golf is great for building co-operation between children, increasing their focus and strategy methods. But don’t just take our word for it… below is a list of the “Top 10 Reasons Kids Should Play Golf” as recommended by the Player Development Committee of the Professional Golf Association.

1. Develop Life Long Benefits: Benefits of golf include making life-long friends and learning a game that can be played.
2. Spend Quality Time with Family: Golf can be an event around which all family members can gather for several hours. It is a great opportunity for parents to provide positive feedback and encouragement to children.
3. Spending Time Outdoors: Walking and being active in the outdoors allows for breathing in fresh air and establishes healthy exercise habits, far beyond indoor video games or television.
4. Business Skills: In addition to etiquette and the ability to play comfortably with new acquaintances, golf teaches self-confidence, improves the ability to work with numbers, and applies problem solving skills that are critical in business.
5. Anyone Can Play: Men, women, children, people from all over the globe and all walks of life come together to play golf.
6. Self-Improvement: Golf challenges the player toward constant self-improvement. Players analyse what they did well and what has to change to improve. Players develop habits of self-improvement by self-analysis skills, seeking professional instruction, and accepting critiques from others.
7. Etiquette and Values: Golf has a rich tradition of etiquette which lives on today. Playing golf teaches youth how to behave towards self and others, and imparts values such as truthfulness and strength during adversity.
8. Health: Golf is an active game and is less injury prone than contact sports. Conditioning for golf improves strength of core muscles that support the spine, improves flexibility, and allows participants the opportunity to be active and fit.
9. Controlling Emotions: In golf as in life, there are achievements and disappointments. Learning from mistakes and overcoming obstacles improves a player’s game, and teaches them to optimistically carry out the same pattern in day to day life.
10. Fun: Young people grow up too quickly in today’s busy, technological world. Gathering with friends to play golf gives young people the opportunity to spend enjoyable times in friendly competition or mutual companionship.

No matter what age or skill level, the children (and teachers!) are sure to have lots of laughs and create many happy memories as you attempt to conquer the tricks and traps of our two great mini golf courses or teeing off from the top level with glorious views on the driving range.

For only $12 per student, school children can choose to have a hit on the driving range or play on the Mini Golf courses.
