PGA Junior League Golf
Registration will open soon for 2023. Open house - TBA. First Practice - TBA.
Piney Point will be participating in the PGA Jr. League for the tenth straight year. Piney Point is currently seeking interested juniors ages 13 & under to play in the league this summer. Piney Point participated in matches with the McCanless Golf Club, Pine Lake CC, River Hills CC, and Rolling Hills CC in 2021. The fee to participate is 274.00 which includes instruction with the practices, matches, jerseys, scrimmages, matches, and a year-end cookout.
Instruction this year will also include use of the US Kids Golf Player Pathway. To make it fun for players to learn while staying motivated to improve, the Player Pathway provides the perfect program for kids, parents, and coaches. With an easy to follow curriculum combined with awards, players can progress from beginner to elite player! The Player Pathway will include improvements through each level (there are 10 total levels) in 5 key categories: Putting, Around the Green, Full Swing, Knowledge (Rules & Etiquette), and Scoring. This player pathway gives players, parents, and coaches the ability to monitor current progress as well as have an idea of what to expect next in their golf journey. For more US Kids Golf Player Pathway information go to https://foundation.uskidsgolf.com/play-and-learn/learn.

With teams of boys and girls, age 13 and under, PGA JLG provides a structured league environment for young golfers to compete and have fun! This is a great way to get, and keep, kids involved in the game! Experience is not necessary to participate in the league!

Jr. Golf Camp

Last year we worked on levels 1 & 2 to help our golf campers with putting, chipping, pitching, full swing, etiquette, rules, & golf club knowledge. This year we will expand upon those skills for those that attended camp last year with the addition of level 3 as well as offering levels 1 & 2 to those who are new to the game.

High School Golf

Golf team members from all area schools are given playing privileges during the season. Each player is asked to get permission from their coach before calling to schedule a tee time if the coach is not going to accommodate them that day.
Piney Point is the home course for the South Stanly Rebel Bulls and the West Stanly Colts (in 2018). The Colt golfers have a well-balanced and talented team going into the 2018 season.
