As we close out our spring PGA Jr. League season, we want to thank you all for your tremendous support. This has been a memorable season filled with learning, fun, and growth—and it’s only the summer programming we will have this year!
Our goal is to make Sunkist a junior-first golf facility—a place where families feel supported, players grow in confidence, and the love for golf lasts a lifetime. We’re grateful for your patience and encouragement during this exciting season of transition and are truly proud of the progress our juniors have made.
