Junior Golf Development Programme: Children’s Golf Lessons in Singapore
Since 2006, the NSRCC Junior Golf Development Programme (JGDP) has been one of Singapore's most respected structured pathways for young golfers, offering junior golf lessons under the supervision of the Club's resident golf academy and Greens Committee. Places are limited and selectively offered, making the JGDP one of the most sought-after junior golf opportunities in Singapore.
More than just children's golf lessons, the JGDP is a competitive development track designed to bring motivated young players from club level through to national competition. With a clear progression framework, dedicated coaching, and tournament exposure, the golf programme for kids gives serious junior golfers the foundation they need to compete at the highest levels of the sport.
How the JGDP Works
All selected JGDP members will undergo training by the club’s resident golf academy with overall supervision by the Greens Committee & Club Management. Upon graduation at the end of each calendar year, junior golfers would have to submit their interest in the National Ranking Game (NRG) to NSRCC. The Club's approval will then be sought for them to participate in the NRG.
Coaching & Lesson Structure
JGDP participants receive professional coaching through a structured curriculum designed to develop both technical skills and on-course decision-making. Junior golf classes are conducted at NSRCC's championship courses, giving young golfers the benefit of training in a real competitive environment. Lesson frequency and format are tailored to each cohort's progression goals, as determined by the Academy and Greens Committee.
Meet the Coaches
JGDP’s junior golf classes are led by a team of certified golf professionals with extensive experience in developing young players at both club and national level.
