Junior Instruction
University Ridge offers a wide variety of junior golf instruction throughout the golfing season in order to meet the needs of all ages and abilities of junior golfers. Our programs offer fun and exciting instruction with an emphasis on personal attention, golfing etiquette, and improving overall golfing ability. All junior lessons are conducted on our newly remodeled practice facility which has a separate tee for instruction, a chipping green, and practice bunkers. Group size never exceeds six students (per instructor). Below is a list of junior classes that will be offered during the 2013 golf season. If class times don’t work out for your schedule you may schedule a private class for 4 or more. If you would like to sign up for any of the classes please contact the golf shop at (608) 845-7700 or email Ryan at rw2@athletics.wisc.edu.
