Some yardage recommendations:
juniors 6-8 years old, play par 4s from 150 yards, par
5s 250 yards, par 3s the most forward tee box available or 80-90 yards
juniors 9-12 years old, add 50 yards to the 6-10
yardages e.g. par 4s, 200 yards
all courses have stakes and/or plates indicating 100,
150, 200 yards to the center of the green (and possibly 250 on par
5s)...find a flat area in the fairway by these markers and play the hole
from there, juniors, especially beginners and younger players, will enjoy
playing these yardages rather than from forward tee boxes, it helps them
to learn how to score, is more fun and is faster
for the par 3s if the
forward tees are too long or there is a long carry over water just try to
find a spot to start from that will make it fun
if juniors can not get out of bunkers (and please be
sure to rake any bunkers they are in) or carry a water hazard just drop
the ball out of the bunker or drop in front of the water hazard and
continue
juniors 13 and older, yardages will depend on ability, start at the most forward tee boxes, better players will move back i.e. play longer holes
Have fun.
