Sanctuary Cove has developed a number of initiatives to encourage young golfers, regardless of their skill to become involved in the game of golf.
As a MyGolf accredited centre Sanctuary Cove holds regular clinics and supports local school programs conducted by PGA professionals. Along with developing golf skills the Junior program looks forward to promoting the traditions, etiquette and respect for the game.
In association with the Adam Scott Foundation the Club conducts the Adam Scott Junior Classic. An event that provides Gold Coast juniors the opportunity to compete under tournament conditions.
Junior Membership is available at Sanctuary Cove for children of existing Equity Members and through the Cadet program for those who would otherwise not have the opportunity to become a member.
Meet the Captains
Connor Hewitt
"I am 16yrs old, a resident in Sanctuary Cove and been a member of Sanctuary Cove Golf Club since April 2007. I attend The Southport School (TSS) since migrating to Australia in 2009. In the UK some of my major winning achievements at the private golf clubs I was a member of were Junior Shield, Numerous 1stplace Monthly Medals, Junior Club Champion, Most Improved Club Player, Winner of Men’s Annual Coronation Cup. In Australia I was a member of the Gold Coast Academy of Sport/Golf. I have represented Sanctuary Cove Golf Club for the Pennant Team for the last 2yrs winning all six of my matches last year. I now have the privilege of representing Sanctuary Cove as Junior Boys Club Captain."
Rebecca Tickner
"Hi, my name is Bec Tickner, I’m 15 years old and I live and play golf at Sanctuary Cove. The club has selected me as the junior girl captain. This is a huge honour for me as I love being a part of the club and helping improve our junior program. Here’s a little something about me: I have been playing golf for nearly 3 years now. My family are definitely my inspiration as all of them play golf with a passion. I started playing golf at the age of 12 at my course in Sydney which I’m sure a lot of you are familiar with, Pymble Golf Club. In the future my dream is to move to America and play golf professionally and one day would love to play on the LPGA Tour."
