Bringing structured girls golf to Shreveport
Northwest Louisiana has a long, proud golf history — Querbes Park, East Ridge, Northwood, and the public courses across Shreveport-Bossier have produced college players and lifelong recreational golfers for generations. But ask any Shreveport family with a daughter where to enroll her in a structured, beginner-first girls golf program in Shreveport, and the honest answer has been: there isn't one. Girls Golf LPGA* USGA Curriculum Teach Girls Golf is changing that.
Our Shreveport girls golf academy launches October 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.
Why girls golf matters in Shreveport
The Shreveport-Bossier junior golf community has serious infrastructure — but the number of girls entering the sport remains far lower than the number of boys. Most beginner clinics in Northwest Louisiana are mixed-gender, which means girls who want to try the game often end up as the only girl on the range. Country-club lessons assume membership. Tournament pipelines assume girls who already play. The on-ramp for a beginner girl, with no clubs and no experience, has been missing.
A girls-only environment changes everything. 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
Our coaching team is trained in the LPGA*USGA Girls Golf methodology — the gold standard for introducing girls to the game. The four-week curriculum moves intentionally from foundations to short game to full swing to on-course play, so by graduation week every girl in the Shreveport cohort has hit shots on a real course.
- Girls-only cohorts of 8–10 players per track
- Two age-grouped tracks: 5–8 and 9–13
- LPGA*USGA Girls Golf-trained coaching staff
- Four weeks: foundations → short game → full swing → on-course play
- Background-checked coaches and private parent dashboard
4-Week Academy + Clubs Included
Equipment should never be the reason a girl in Shreveport doesn't try golf. Families have three flexible 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. The only question that matters is whether your daughter enjoys the game.
- Week 1 — Foundations: grip, posture, alignment, first contact
- Week 2 — Short game: chipping and putting fundamentals
- Week 3 — Full swing + course strategy
- Week 4 — On-course play, skills challenge, graduation
Leadership through golf
Golf is one of the only sports where a 12-year-old has to read a situation, choose a club, commit to a decision, and live with the result — every shot, every hole. It builds the exact skills Shreveport parents already want their daughters to develop: focus under pressure, decision-making, etiquette, composure after a setback, and the quiet confidence of standing over the ball and making your own call.
In a girls-only cohort, those skills compound. Girls take more risks when they're not being watched by boys. They speak up in coaching moments. They take leadership roles within the group — captaining drills, helping younger players, walking up to a tee with their head up. That's the long-tail benefit of girls golf in Shreveport: not just a swing, but a posture toward challenge that carries into school, work, and life.
Schedule and location
The Shreveport cohort runs in October 2026, Tuesdays and Thursdays, with two back-to-back age tracks each evening — 4:00 PM (Ages 5–8) and 5:15 PM (Ages 9–13) — so siblings only require one trip and working parents get realistic pickup windows. The exact venue in the Shreveport-Bossier metro is confirmed as interest-list enrollment lands.
Serving the Ark-La-Tex
The Shreveport cohort is built for families across Shreveport, Bossier City, Haughton, Benton, Stonewall, Keithville, Greenwood, and Minden — Caddo and Bossier parishes plus the surrounding Northwest Louisiana / Ark-La-Tex communities. Families just across the Texas or Arkansas line are welcome too.
A trusted program for Shreveport parents
Every coach is background-checked. Child records, photos, and parent communications are kept private inside a dedicated parent dashboard. We follow the LPGA*USGA Girls Golf framework — the same one used by certified Girls Golf sites nationwide.
