2025 High School Golf Program

This popular program is geared toward preparing players for their high school golf teams or for those wanting to continue to build and improve their golf skills. The schedule is designed for the student to establish a routine throughout the summer which leads up to the beginning of high school golf team tryouts in early August. This is an excellent opportunity to develop skills and become familiar with Sugar Creek Golf Course – the home course for both Willowbrook Boys/Girls and York Girls golf teams.  This program is open to anyone, regardless of which high school they attend.

The high school golf season begins in early August and ends the first week in October. Golf matches (competitions) are typically 9 holes, mostly played on weekdays after school. There are some 18-hole competitions on Saturdays and post-season tournaments.

Classes are coed for all player ages 14-17, Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior, Senior

  • Five group clinics (driving range, putting green and short game stations) - 1 1/2 total hours each week
  • Four 9-hole playing strategy sessions (see schedule below)
