The Royal Golf Club’s team of PGA Teaching Professionals has introduced a new course layout for junior golfers to encourage them to make the transition from the par 3 Mini Monty academy course to the more challenging Montgomerie Championship Course.
The par 70 course layout features holes ranging in length from 71 yards up to 161 yards, providing youngsters of all ages with a true test of both their long- and short-game skills.
Parents wishing to play alongside their kids are reminded of the club’s Troon Family Day offer – for every paying adult teeing off after 3pm, a child aged 15 years or below can play for free. This offer is valid any day of the week for families playing on either golf course and includes free hire clubs for children.
