Kids progress through clear yardage levels — from short holes to full tee distances — so every session builds real on-course skill, not just range swings.
Who it’s for
New to the game or already swinging
LABsters is for kids ages 4–14 — whether your child is picking up a club for the first time or looking to level up. Coaches meet them where they are, with a clear development path and an environment where learning is exciting and memorable.
Programs run at The Backyard Golf Company and Clayton Hills Par 3, with indoor options at Haus of Golf through December, January and February. No clubs? No problem — equipment is available to borrow during any class or camp.

Programs
Classes, camps and first swings
Weekly Classes
Afternoon and weekend classes run in spring, summer and fall semesters at The Backyard and Clayton Hills Par 3. Small groups, structured Operation 36 curriculum, and clubs available to borrow.
Spring Break & Summer Camps
Camps introduce every element of the game in a way kids can absorb and truly enjoy — putting, chipping, full swing and on-course play, wrapped in games and the famous secret handshake.
Private & Semi-Private Lessons
One-on-one and small-group junior lessons with minimal distractions, so coaches can maximize each player’s ability to learn, absorb and build confidence at their own pace.
Just Try Golf Clinics
A one-time clinic with Coach Sahil for kids who want to try golf without committing to a program. Low pressure, all fun — the easiest first step into the game.
On the course
Real kids. Real progress. Real fun.
From first swings and weekly classes to personal-best certificates and end-of-session celebrations — this is junior golf the LABsters way.
