What Are Junior Golf Tee Markers?
Junior golf tee markers are specialized indicators positioned at distances that make golf manageable and enjoyable for children and teenagers. These designated starting points reduce hole lengths to appropriate yardages, allowing developing golfers to experience success while learning proper swing mechanics and course management skills.
​
Beyond simple distance adjustment, junior golf tee markers create a welcoming environment for young players. When courses invest in dedicated junior markers, they demonstrate commitment to youth development that parents and program coordinators recognize, while eliminating the frustration many young golfers experience when playing from overwhelming adult distances.
Proper course setup should complement age-appropriate equipment selection. To ensure your young players have the right clubs to match these adjusted distances, learn about what age junior golf clubs are for.
Junior Golf Tee Marker Color System and Yardage Guide
Standard Tee Color Meanings
The traditional color-coding system helps course managers and junior program coordinators select appropriate tee positions for different skill levels and age groups. While individual courses may customize their systems, these industry-standard color meanings provide consistency that helps young golfers transition between different facilities with confidence:
​
-
Red Tees: Traditionally designated for forward play, red tees or forward tees are typically used by women, senior golfers, and junior players. These markers position players closest to the green, creating manageable distances for developing skills and maintaining enjoyment.
-
White Tees: Considered the standard for average male golfers, white tee markers represent moderate distances suitable for players who can consistently drive the ball 200 to 250 yards. Many junior programs use white tees for older or more advanced young players.
-
Blue Tees: Positioned for strong players and those who can drive the ball 250+ yards, blue tee markers offer championship-length challenges. These are rarely appropriate for junior programs except for highly skilled teenage golfers.
-
Black Tees: Reserved for special events, professional tournaments, and exceptionally strong players, black tee markers represent the most challenging distances on the course and are not suitable for junior play.
Standard vs. Junior Tee Distances
The key difference between standard golf and junior tee setups lies in the total yardage and the resulting par values for young players. While adult courses typically range from 5,000 to 7,000 yards, junior setups often reduce total distances to 2,500 to 4,500 yards depending on the age group. This reduction maintains proper hole proportions while creating achievable targets that encourage continued participation.
​
Many successful junior programs implement multiple tee positions to accommodate different age groups and skill levels. Advanced juniors might play from 4,000-yard setups, while beginners start from 2,500-yard configurations. This graduated approach allows young players to progress naturally as their skills develop, maintaining appropriate challenges without creating frustration.
