The Origins Course at WaterSound – an innovative “concept” course designed for families and beginners by Davis Love III -- will host a variety of summer programs in conjunction with the PGA of America’s Family Golf Month in July.
The Origins Course will welcome families and juniors for camps, tournaments and outings throughout Family Golf Month, as well as the remainder of summer. The one-of-a-kind design by Love III plays as a six-hole regulation course, a nine-hole executive course and a ten-hole par 3 layout that is perfectly suited to families and beginning golfers.
These family and junior programs are offered at The Origins Course this summer:
- Beginner Teens Tournament – Junior golfers age 11-18 are invited to play in this two-person scramble, held every Tuesday at 2 p.m. throughout the summer months. Novices and first-time golfers are welcomed, with clubs provided at no extra charge if needed. The fee is $15 per player (cart fee is extra).
- Family Golf Outing Afternoon at The Origins Course – Starting at 2 p.m. each Wednesday in July and August, a golf professional will tour the course offering instruction and tips to family members. Regular adult and junior rates apply.
- Kids’ Summer Golf Camps – These four-day camps run Monday-Thursday, with sessions from July 9-12 and July 16-19 (a tournament preparation camp for experienced juniors). The camps are open to members, resort guests and homeowners at $175 per participant and include PGA instruction, instructional booklets, visors, golf balls, refreshments, daily prize drawings and contests, and cookout parties following the Thursday sessions.
- Family Promotion – All summer, kids 15 and under play free at The Origins Course when accompanied by a paying adult.
Families across the country are encouraged to play golf together during - Family Golf Month, a Play Golf America program designed to provide a structured, yet casual opportunity for families to learn the game. Launched in 2004, Play Golf America is a player development initiative focusing on new and occasional golfers -- a combined group of 31 million individuals.
