Greater Milwaukee youth golf camps for summer 2026

Over 50 programs across six southeastern Wisconsin counties offer junior golfers instruction ranging from beginner clinics to competitive tournament preparation. First Tee – Southeast Wisconsin and Milwaukee County Parks anchor the region's most accessible youth programming, with camps starting as low as $30 for multi-week sessions. Premium options at destination resorts like Kohler and Grand Geneva provide intensive instruction with state-of-the-art technology. Most 2026 registration opens between February and April, with popular programs filling quickly.

The greater Milwaukee area has emerged as a youth golf hub, combining robust municipal programming with private club offerings and specialized academies. Key 2026 dates to note: Washington County Golf Course registration opens March 2, 2026, and PGA Junior League registration opened January 5, 2026.
