Kids’ and beginner golf in Central Park & Denver – where do you start for summer 2022?

A few years ago our oldest child decided he wanted to play golf. He started by practicing with little plastic clubs in the basement of our old townhome in Conservatory Green, and his interest grew from there.

I think many parents might have similar experiences with kid activities and sports – where your child expresses interest and you get pulled into the “ecosystem” of that activity, even if it’s not something you know much about. I don’t play golf myself and wasn’t inclined to push our son, but the more he got into it the more I found myself doing late night research on how I could help him get on a real golf course, maybe take some lessons, and go from there!

I wrote a Scoop post in 2020 with all the summer kids’ and beginner golf options around the neighborhood. I wanted to update that post, since a few things have changed! Let’s dive in!
