Welcome to the Junior Section
At Louth Golf Club, our junior golfers enjoy a fun, friendly and safe environment where they can learn the skills of golf, develop confidence, and progress at their own pace.
We welcome all young people who are curious about trying golf. Juniors can join our New-to-Golf Development Programme without any requirement to become a club member — it’s the perfect way to experience the game for the first time with no pressure or commitment.
As juniors grow in confidence and begin to enjoy regular practice and play, many choose to take the next step by joining our Junior Membership section, where they become part of our thriving junior community.
Louth Golf Club has been officially awarded Junior Hub status by England Golf and the Golf Foundation — recognising us as a centre of excellence for junior golf development, with high standards of coaching, safeguarding and inclusivity.
Junior Coaching
All junior coaching is delivered by our PGA Professional, supported by trained club volunteers who have completed the England Golf Activator Course. For details of our current coaching team, visit our Facebook page or contact us directly.

We follow a structured development pathway:
