About
Don Knabe Golf Center Junior Programs introduce kids to golf through activities such as short game practice, putting, chipping, bunker practice, and driving range practice. The program also includes junior golf academy programs, private lessons, group clinics, tournaments, and soccer golf as part of its junior programs.
• Ages: 5–17 years old
• Price: Rates vary seasonally and by time of day, with special pricing available for members of the Players Club.
The Don Knabe Golf Center was originally established in 1963 and was extensively renovated. Its programming mission focuses on core golf skills such as the swing, rules, and etiquette, along with social skills, education, and an introduction to various career opportunities. The facility is described as a premier 9-hole short-game-focused course with hole lengths ranging from 50 to 100 yards, large bentgrass greens, and a walking-only, fully illuminated short course supported by a night-lit, two-tier driving range, spacious putting green, chipping area, and practice bunkers. A clubhouse with a community room is available for meetings and smaller private parties, and the pro shop carries equipment and apparel from brands including Callaway, Cleveland, and FootJoy.
The clubhouse serves as a community hub for events such as corporate outings and gatherings, and the course is named after local politician Don Knabe, who is noted as a steadfast advocate for junior golf and youth development in the community. Testimonials from parents and players describe the course as a fun short course that does not intimidate beginners and kids, a place where a round can be finished in under an hour, and an affordable spot for kids to practice short game skills, with one noting that bringing a wedge and a putter is often all that is needed. Other testimonials highlight the two-tier driving range, soccer golf, the family-friendly environment, the availability of a chipping and putting area, the staff’s helpfulness for inquiries and parties, and the sunsets visible from the course.
