Golf for kids in Brooklyn. Could be a great thing for your kid; mine love mini-golf.

Since 2000, City Parks Foundation’s CityParks Golf program has provided
free lessons to over 12,000 children in parks and ranges throughout the
five boroughs.

The CityParks Junior Golf Center was created to further develop the skills
of our city’s future generations of golfers. Our mission is to:

–teach the basics of the game and its positive values to New York
City youth, at no cost
–offer free, challenging follow-up programs that will enable
participants to play independently on the course for the rest of their
lives.

As a member of the Golf Center, your child will learn the game from our
experienced teaching staff, directed by PGA professional Gregg Gaulocher,
and can practice regularly at a facility designed specifically for youth
development.

Instructional programs at the Golf Center are open only to NYC residents
between the ages of 6-17. Membership is automatic once a child enrolls in
one of our programs.

Schedules, registration forms and special event dates are posted at least
