About Future Links
CN Future Links is Canada’s national junior golf development program designed to “Ensure The Future Of Golf”. Conducted by the Royal Canadian Golf Association (RCGA) in partnership with the Canadian Professional Golfers’ Association (CPGA) and Canada’s provincial golf associations, the program consists of multi-level instruction and rewards, clinics, camps, support materials and special programs to raise awareness of junior golf and address the issues of accessibility and affordability.
Instructional Program
This program provides basic to intermediate instruction for up to 30 boys and girls from age 6 (as of June 30, 2087) to 14 including drills, games, and contests supported by regular testing. Clubs of appropriate size are available for use by those who require them at no extra cost. A skills test must be passed to move from one level to the next. If testing or play on the course is scheduled, the times may change.
