Beginner-friendly girls golf lessons in New Orleans

New Orleans is one of the most underrated junior golf cities in the South. Between Bayou Oaks at City Park, Joseph Bartholomew Golf Course, and a growing network of public-access ranges, the city offers girls more on-ramps into the game than most cities its size. What's been missing is a structured, beginner-first girls golf program in New Orleans — and that's what Girls Golf LPGA* USGA exists to build.

Our New Orleans girls golf lessons are designed for girls who have never picked up a club. Small, girls-only cohorts. Junior clubs included. A real four-week curriculum that ends with on-course play and a graduation celebration.

Why girls golf matters in New Orleans

The New Orleans golf community runs deep — from the historic significance of Joseph Bartholomew, the trailblazing Black golf course architect, to the youth pathways anchored at Bayou Oaks at City Park. Yet girls remain dramatically underrepresented in junior golf rosters across the city.

Girls-only programming changes that. When confidence is the first thing built, retention into a second season nearly doubles compared to mixed-gender clinics. The instruction doesn't change — the social experience does.

Built for absolute beginners

Our coaching follows the LPGA*USGA Girls Golf methodology — the same framework used by certified Girls Golf sites across the country. The four-week progression is intentional: foundations → short game → full swing → on-course play.

  • Girls-only cohorts of 8–10 players per track
  • Three age-grouped tracks: 6–8, 9–12, 13+
  • Full junior club set sized to your daughter — included
  • Coaches trained in the LPGA*USGA Girls Golf framework
  • Parent dashboard with schedule, messages, and photos

The 4-week Academy — Clubs included

Equipment is the #1 reason parents hesitate to sign girls up for golf. Every Academy registration in New Orleans includes a properly-fitted junior club set, so the only question is whether your daughter enjoys the game — not whether you bought the right gear.

Schedule and location

New Orleans cohorts are planned in partnership with public-access facilities including Bayou Oaks at City Park and Joseph Bartholomew Golf Course. Cohort dates and the partner facility for each session are confirmed once the waitlist passes minimum enrollment. Join the waitlist to be notified first.

A trusted program for New Orleans parents

Every coach is background-checked. Child records, photos, and parent messages live inside a dedicated, private parent dashboard. We operate inside the LPGA*USGA Girls Golf framework so parents know exactly what curriculum and safeguards are in place.

Louisiana girls golf programs, anchored statewide

Girls Golf LPGA* USGA is built as a Louisiana-wide platform — founded in Baton Rouge, expanding into New Orleans, and designed to scale into Lafayette, Lake Charles, and the broader Gulf Coast. The curriculum, coaching standards, and safety protocols are the same everywhere; only the partner facility changes.
