With a dedicated Junior Committee and support from the Wellow Management Team, the junior section has gone from strength to strength with 79 members ranging from 7 to 18 years.

The aim of the section is to help juniors to enjoy their golf, whatever level they aspire to, and to make their golfing experience one of fun, whilst in a friendly and safe environment, where friendships can be made. The development of juniors is vital for the future of all golf clubs, and at Wellow, the aim is to do everything possible to help juniors achieve their goals in the game.

The Wellow juniors benefit from coaching by Danny Harris, PGA Golf Coach and winner of the England Golf Award 2023, Participation & Development Coach of the Year. A number of club members have been selected for the Hampshire boys and girls teams and squads 2023.
