The Junior Golf Association (JGA) was established in 1987 with the purpose of providing quality golf experiences for area juniors at affordable rates.  The JGA is divided into 4 age groups:

• 12 & Under Instructional
• 12 & Under Tournament
• 13-15 Tournament
• 16-18 Tournament

18 different area courses host our 32 events.  The $40.00 registration fee if entered by June 5 makes the JGA the best value for junior golf in the area.  (The registration fee is $50.00 for entries received after June 5).  The registration fee is all-inclusive for the 12 & Under age groups. For the 13-15 and 16-18 age groups, the registration fee includes four events and there is a $5.00 fee for each additional event. 

The JGA has awarded 41 college scholarships totaling $55,000 to former participants since 1997 through the endowed Junior Golf Fund within the Kalamazoo Community Foundation.  Visit our Annual Awards page to view past winners or to download the JGA Scholarship application form.

Information about other junior programs such as Junior Golf Leagues, Instructional Clinics, Competition Camps and the JGA Father-Son/Parent-Child Tournament are also available in our Programs section.

We look forward to another successful season.  Remember to thank all of our host courses and professionals who help make the JGA such a success!
