Bringing Kids or Guests to the Course
Brief kids and guests on basics before they play. Choose an appropriate venue.
Do
- Teach kids basic rules before they play (quiet on swings, no running near greens)
- Check the course's junior policy — age limits and supervised play rules
- Brief guests on dress code and basic etiquette before arrival
- Choose a beginner-friendly, relaxed course (municipal, par-3) for kids and guests
Don't
- Don't bring kids without explaining the noise/movement rules
- Don't bring a guest who refuses to engage with the basics
- Don't let kids run ahead unsupervised on the course
Beginner-safe script
“Before we start: please stay quiet when others are hitting, and don't run near the greens. Sound good?”
Why it matters
A great first experience introduces someone to golf for life. A bad one puts them off it forever.
