Offering Expanded Summer Junior Camps and new "Family Course" routing
TAMPA, FLORIDA – Westchase Golf Club, Tampa’s most popular upscale daily fee facility, builds on their reputation as a family-friendly facility by unveiling new junior golf programming for the summer including expanded Junior Camps and two new golf course routings "Family/Learning Course" and the shorter "Fun Course" offered this summer.
Expanded Junior Camps At Westchase
Westchase’s extremely popular junior golf camps customarily experience long waiting lists, so this summer they will substantially expand the number of these weekly camps. Also, the golf professionals at Westchase have expanded the Junior Camp program to include a supervised play option in which a greater emphasis is placed on rules, strategy and competition. Instruction provided is from Westchase’s PGA Professionals, presented in a fun and challenging environment for junior golfers of all skill levels. Students will learn sound golf fundamentals, including full swing, putting, chipping, pitching, bunker play along with etiquette, rules of golf and golf safety.
Tee it up on the "Family/Learning Course" or "Fun Course" This Summer
Westchase Golf Club also unveiled two specially routed courses set up on the club’s front nine. The walking only, nine hole "Fun Course" is a perfect introduction to the game of golf for even the youngest golfer with holes from 50-140 yards. The "Family/Learning Course" features holes from 100-350 yards and is ideal for the beginning golfer or family offering a little more challenge than the "Fun Course". These courses will be open June 27 – August 31, 2007. Juniors and parents can play at special low rates. Call the golf shop for more details. Supervised play from the aforementioned Junior Camps will also run concurrently with the weekly camps on Westchase’s "Family Course".
"Unlike many other popular youth sports, golf is a ‘game of a lifetime’ and is truly ‘cross-generational’ – a perfect sport for families to play together and spend quality time with one another," stated Clay Thomas, General Manager of Westchase Golf Club. "Our junior golf programming this summer is designed to not only get more juniors into this great game, but also designed to provide a venue for families to spend more quality family time with each otherâ?¦on the golf course!"
Located just minutes north of the Tampa Airport, Westchase Golf Club is daily-fee facility that is home to 18-holes designed by golf course architect Lloyd Clifton. Originally opened in 1992, Westchase’s 6,710-yard, par 72 layout winds through 213 acres of lakes, natural wetlands and scenic conservation areas – making the golf experience at Westchase truly memorable for both area residents and visitors to the Tampa region.
