New in 2026 - Cantigny PGA Associate Ladder Program!

Cantigny PGA Associate Ladder Program is conducted by the PGA Associate staff of the Cantigny Golf Academy. The three programs provide Cantigny junior golfers with a structured framework for learning and continued skill development. Each PGA Associate uses proven teaching techniques that are both effective and fun for junior golfers.


Level 1 13+ Clinic

Level 1: 13+

Ages 13+ (Boys & Girls)

This Level 1 Certification Clinic is designed for juniors ages 13 and up who may feel uneasy about beginning golf beyond age 8. The clinic prepares participants for Level 1 certification through both testing and on-course evaluation.

The program meets for five sessions and introduces juniors to the fundamentals of putting, chipping, and the full swing. Safety and etiquette requirements—such as where to stand, pace of play, and sportsmanship—are also covered. An exam on safety and etiquette, along with an on-course evaluation, will take place during the final session.

No prior course experience is required for this level.
