Royal Fremantle Golf Club has one of the best Junior Golf Academy programs in Australia. The Club has a rich history of developing world-class players, with alumni including Craig Parry, Greg Chalmers, Minjee Lee, Min Woo Lee and Oliver Goss.
Junior Academy is a beginners program to introduce kids of all ages and abilities to golf, teaching them the fundamentals of the game in a safe and supportive environment, before their
progression into Junior Members of the Club.
We have taken a holistic approach to our Academy Classes. Focusing on our Core Values; Community, Leadership, Positivity, students will learn the rudimentary skills, which include rules, etiquette, fitness, nutrition, testing and real on-course experience. Students will have the opportunity to work in a group learning environment, meeting new friends to join their journey as a golfer.
The Junior Academy was a finalist for the Outstanding Game Development Program of the Year at the 2022 WA Golf Industry Awards.
