Junior Program for Guests
The Golf Club of Choice for Juniors
Cottesloe Golf Club aims to be the club of choice for Western Australian juniors seeking to play golf and develop their golfing skills. We offer clinics for all ages and abilities and operate small class sizes so our teaching professionals can focus on developing the skills of every student in the class.
Girls’ Golf
Cottesloe Golf Club supports girls’ golf development with the Australian Golf Foundation (AGF) Junior Girls Scholarship program. Each year Cottesloe GC selects a number of worthy recipients to take advantage of coaching and mentoring of the game by JLPGA teaching professional Yuki Fukawa, with the objective of supporting the girls to continue golf beyond clinics to obtain a handicap, and in turn continue to play the sport.
School Group Golf
Cottesloe Golf Club currently holds golf teaching programs with the following schools. If your child attends one of these schools and would like to be included in their program, you may wish to contact the school for more information.
- Scotch College (including a Boarders program)
- St Hilda’s Anglican School for Girls
- Methodist Ladies’ College
Junior Clinics
Commencing this July, Cottesloe Golf Club will be introducing a more structured, professional junior program to foster the next generation of golfers. With a focus on skill building, mental resilience and golf etiquette, in a competitive, yet fun environment for juniors of all levels.
We are committed to encouraging the long term engagement of our younger players.
