    Before selecting a child-friendly golf course to play, I think it is important to select the right environment so the kid will have a positive experience during the introduction of golf. If he/she is a beginner, you should pick a week day when the course is not crowded. Second, don’t play golf when the weather is not good, golf is difficult sports to begin with, adding Mother Nature into the picture is not a good idea, third, don’t add strangers into the group; your kid may get intimidated. Select the course that is fairly short in length… I suggest a par three courses will be a good start. The important thing – golf is fun game and make sure you project a positive experience at end of the day.

    Thanks Bob. These are all good suggestions. Do you have any suggestions for golf courses within the Asian region? I hear that Thailand is less rigid in terms of kids on the course?

    Palm Resort, Melati course in JB, Malaysia - is a good course for kids. It is not a walking course and there is very little water hazard. At the same time, it is very cheap during the weekday.
