Junior Golf Program
LPGA players Paula Creamer, Pat Hurst and Dana Dormann along with PGA Tour Professionals Todd Fischer and Joel Kribel all have something in common, they all came out of the Castlewood Junior program. Here, they played on two 18-hole championship golf courses, playable year-round, offering the golfer a variety of challenges.
