Bringing structured girls golf to Lafayette

Acadiana has a deep golf culture — but ask any Lafayette family with a daughter where to enroll her in a structured, beginner-first girls golf program in Lafayette, and the honest answer has been: there isn't one. Country-club tracks assume access. Mixed-gender junior clinics often leave girls as the only girl on the range. Girls Golf LPGA* USGA Curriculum Teach Girls Golf is changing that.

Our Lafayette girls golf academy launches November 2026 — a four-week, girls-only cohort designed for absolute beginners. Tuesdays and Thursdays, two age tracks per evening: 4:00 PM (Ages 5–8) and 5:15 PM (Ages 9–13). Loaner clubs are ready on day one, with the option to buy a fitted set at a discount or bring her own.

The Acadiana gap in girls golf

Lafayette, Broussard, Youngsville, Scott, Carencro, New Iberia, Abbeville — across Acadiana, girls who want to try golf face the same problem: no entry point that's actually built for them. Junior tournaments exist for the girls already playing. Country-club lessons exist for families with memberships. But the on-ramp for a beginner girl, with no clubs and no experience, has been missing.

Our mission is to expand girls golf access in Acadiana — to make the first swing a girl ever takes happen in a girls-only cohort, with a properly-sized club in her hands and a coach trained in the LPGA*USGA Girls Golf methodology.

Why girls-only matters

Year-over-year retention for first-time girl golfers nearly doubles when the cohort is all girls. The instruction is identical; the social experience is dramatically different. In a girls-only cohort, your daughter isn't the only girl — she's surrounded by them.

Built for absolute beginners

  • Girls-only cohorts of 8–10 players per track
  • Two age-grouped tracks: 5–8 and 9–13
  • Option to buy a fitted junior set at a discounted academy rate — yours to keep
  • Already have clubs? Bring her own — no extra cost
  • Loaner clubs available on-site at every practice
  • LPGA*USGA Girls Golf-trained coaching staff
  • Four weeks: foundations → short game → full swing → on-course play
  • Parent dashboard with schedule, messages, and photos

Clubs: buy, bring, or borrow

Most parents in Lafayette won't drop several hundred dollars on a junior club set for a sport their daughter hasn't tried yet. Fair. Families have three options: buy a fitted junior set at a discounted academy rate (yours to keep), bring her own clubs if she already has a set, or use loaner clubs we keep on-site at every practice. Equipment is never a barrier to her first session.

FAQ

Lafayette girls golf FAQ

Is there a Girls Golf academy in Lafayette yet?
We're actively expanding into Lafayette and Acadiana. Families can join the Lafayette interest list now — the first cohort launches as soon as we hit minimum enrollment per age track. The flagship cohort currently runs in Baton Rouge.
What parishes around Lafayette does this serve?
Lafayette Parish plus surrounding Acadiana communities — Broussard, Youngsville, Scott, Carencro, New Iberia, Abbeville, Breaux Bridge, and St. Martinville — across Lafayette, Vermilion, St. Martin, Iberia, and Acadia parishes.
Why a girls-only program in Acadiana?
Acadiana has strong junior golf traditions, but structured girls-only beginner programming has been almost nonexistent. Girls who want to try the game usually end up in mixed clinics where they're the only girl on the range. A girls-only cohort changes retention dramatically.
What programs do you offer?
Teach Girls Golf Academy runs four program tracks: Beginner Clinics, Academy Series (multi-week seasonal training), Advanced Development (competitive prep), and Tournaments & Events.
What ages are programs for?
Girls ages 6–17, organized into two age tracks per location (typically 5–8 and 9–13) so girls train alongside peers at a similar stage.
Where are programs held?
We run programs in four Louisiana metros: Baton Rouge (City Park Driving Range), New Orleans, Lafayette, and Shreveport. New locations are added seasonally based on demand.
Are absolute beginners welcome?
Yes. Our Beginner Clinics and Academy Series are built for first-time golfers — every session assumes zero prior experience.
Do participants need their own clubs?
No — equipment is available on-site for Beginner Clinics. Academy Series and Advanced Development enrollment includes options for clubs-included tuition.
How do I enroll?
Create a parent account, add your daughter's profile, choose your city, pick the program that fits her stage, and complete secure checkout. You'll get a confirmation email with everything you need for week one.
Is there a competition pathway?
Yes. Advanced Development players and Academy Series graduates can move into our Tournaments & Events track, which culminates in a regional girls golf event each year.
How can businesses sponsor a program?
Three sponsorship tiers are open: Title Sponsor (Academy Season), Event Sponsor (Tournament Series), and Local Business Sponsor (Clinic Supporter). Visit the Sponsors page to review benefits, or email info@teachgirlsgolf.org to discuss a custom partnership.
