About the Junior Golf Center
About Us
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.
