A golf course for children during the holidays: what you'll find at Belvédère
School holidays are long, and finding an activity that keeps you busy, active, and makes you want to come back isn't always easy. Golf meets all three of these expectations. It's an outdoor sport that requires concentration and precision, while still leaving plenty of room for fun and socializing.
Our program «My Golf in Annecy» This program is designed for children who are beginners as well as those who have already run a club. In four days, your child will learn the essential skills in a relaxed atmosphere, without the pressure of performance. For a child, the best way to progress is to learn while having fun: when they successfully execute a great move, they want to do it again, and that's what makes the difference in the long run.
What your child will be working on during the internship:
- swing preparation, that is, the correct posture and the correct grip on the club; ;
- hitting the ball, at the practice range; ;
- the little game, around the green; ;
- putting, with challenges and team games; ;
- knowledge of the rules and etiquette on the course.
A frame designed by Julien Francou
The internships are led by Julien Francou, certified golf instructor. The group is intentionally kept small: a limited student-teacher ratio allows Julien to correct every movement, encourage every step forward, and adapt to each child's pace. A shy child finds their place, an energetic child expends that energy, and no one is left out.

Why choose a golf camp for children during the holidays?
Golf is one of the most complete sports for a child, and it offers benefits that go far beyond the swing.
He favors first the development of soft skills. On the course, you wait your turn, respect the game of others, don't step on a partner's putting line, and congratulate an opponent who makes a good shot. These reflexes of fair play, respect, patience, and perseverance are naturally passed on throughout the week.
He also develops motor skills Balance, coordination, speed, and explosiveness are all required with each swing. Finally, it allows you to acquire the principles of aiming, that is to say the ability to observe, estimate a distance and adjust one's movement, a skill that is useful far beyond the field.
It is also an excellent screen-free break: for several hours, your child breathes fresh air, moves around, focuses on a simple goal and shares real moments with other children of their age.
Another advantage: golf can be played at all levels and ages. Your child can then play with their grandparents, with you, or with their friends, making it a rare family sport.
The goal: the green card
The goal of the Belvédère Golf School is to make each student a true golfer. Upon completion of their training, your child will be able to obtain their the golf Green Card,, The course authorization that allows him to play independently on a golf course. This children's golf course is an ideal first step towards this goal.
Above all, the first contact with golf is a fun and positive experience. Your child won't experience the frustration of a beginner hitting the ball into thin air: they'll enjoy themselves from the very first sessions, and this initial experience will leave a lasting impression. They'll also learn good habits for life: raking their tracks in the bunkers, taking care of their equipment, and wearing the appropriate attire for the golf course.

What does a typical day of the internship look like?
Here, in a few lines, is what a typical day of the internship looks like:
- Welcome and warm-up. Your child rejoins the group, receives their equipment if needed and gently warms up with mobility games.
- Technical session. Julien presents today's exercise: club grip, alignment, and momentum. Each child tries at their own pace.
- Games and challenges. Skill competitions, team putting, approach courses: learning happens through play, so that motivation remains intact.
- For those over 10 years old: the route. In the afternoon, the group plays on the 9-hole course, with the rules, the score marker and the etiquette.
- Today's summary. A short debriefing highlights everyone's progress before they part ways.
This balanced pace allows the child to learn without getting tired, and to go home with stories to tell.
