Junior Golf Programs
Sneds Tour
Tennessee’s Premier Junior Tour. The Sneds Tour helps create opportunities for junior golfers to learn, play, and enjoy the game of golf. It motivates and educates junior golfers through golf, so they may learn values of honesty, integrity and sportsmanship to last them a lifetime.
Kids Play Free
PGA Tour winner and Knoxville native, Scott Stallings, has teamed up with the Tennessee Golf Foundation to bring free junior golf to Tennessee. The mission is simple: Provide Tennessee’s youth with unrestricted, free access to the game of golf at multiple facilities, 365 days a year.
