"Our people are our greatest asset, and our young players are our future"

Settlers Run is committed to ensuring that our young players have every opportunity to thrive and learn through a vibrant, fun and engaging Junior Development Program.  In late 2023, Settlers Run proudly launched its Junior Golf Development Program, designed to nurture and develop young golfers.  The program features three key tiers: Academy Levels 1 & 2, Development Squad, and a Golf Scholarship Program, offering a clear and structured pathway for junior players.  This exciting initiative is focused on developing junior golfers from an early age—helping them gain official golf handicaps, learn the fundamentals of the game, and grow both as individuals and athletes. Through engaging training, participation in Club competitions, and team-based learning, junior golfers build confidence, form lifelong friendships, and unlock their full potential.

Below, you’ll find more details about the program’s structure, key benefits, and a link to the Junior Development Program application form.

Junior Golf Academy Program Stages MyGolf, an entry-level program.  The Junior Academy – serves as the stage where players transition from MyGolf upon approval of their application.
