HGA Junior Golf
HGA Junior Golf Tour
The HGA Junior Golf Tour offers 18-hole tournaments for boys and girls 12-18 & 9-hole tournaments for boys and girls 7-11. Tournaments are held at different locations throughout the Greater Houston area throughout the summer season (June-August). Our tournaments give players a fun and positive space to learn and develop their game in a competitive golf setting.
Our experienced staff and volunteers are committed to helping young players grow and succeed. By educating players on the rules of golf and appropriate tournament procedures they foster the values of the sport while preparing players to compete at higher levels, regionally and nationally.
Due to continued limitations on group gatherings related to COVID – 19 and in the interest of participant safety we have decided to cancel our 2020 HGA Junior Golf season. We hope to resume our program as we return to normalcy in the future.
