The Golf Thunder Bay Junior Club

The Golf Thunder Bay Junior Club offers a developmental and tournament program for all junior golfers. Age divisions range from under 11 to under 19. With an emphasis on fun, food, and fair play, we offer skill building clinics and a series of tournaments during the golf season. Through the sport of golf, youth learn lifelong lessons such as perseverance, integrity, self confidence, patience, good sportsmanship, and respect. Junior Club memberships give junior golfers access to approximately seven tournaments throughout the summer and to a year-end wind-up banquet. Membership into the Junior Club can be purchased online through the Golf Thunder Bay webpage or by clicking here. Non-members of the Junior Club can participate in most events by paying a tournament fee at each eligible event. Lunches are provided at all tournaments.
