Our mission is to unify the community resources of San Diego's North County to make junior golf accessible, affordable, and fun for parents and junior golfers alike. Since 1967, North County Junior Golf has organized tournaments and clinics for golfers of all skill levels.
The biggest challenge facing local junior golf is the fragmentation of local resources. There are national developmental programs like The First Tee. There are nearby programs for experienced golfers like San Diego Junior Golf. But, there is a void in our local community and North County families find it difficult to get answers to questions like:
Our long-term goal is to be the hub for junior golf resources in North County. We want to establish a junior golf network with local golf courses, teaching professionals, and schools.
Tournament golf is not very accessible for prospective junior golfers. Most junior tours cater to elite golfers. If you begin golf after the age of 10, it can be difficult to find tournaments for your skill level. This is why NCJGA tournament brackets are based on skill in addition to age. If you want to be paired with a friend, just ask. If you want to bring your entire soccer team, we'll add a bracket just for them.
Junior golf tournaments are too expensive so each year our goal is to raise $100,000 and reduce our tournament prices below $40. You can help by becoming an NCJGA sponsor. All donations are tax deductible.
NCJGA embraces the 9 core values of The First Tee, but we also believe (above all else) that junior golf should be fun for the entire family. We believe every athlete in every sport should experience the fun of tournament golf. When professional athletes aren't playing for money, they are having fun playing golf.
NCJGA is all about "keeping it fun". When junior golfers focus on having fun, they excel. Many NCJGA members play for their school teams and also compete in other tours such as SDJGA, AJGA, FCG, & SCPGA. Some NCJGA alumni have received college scholarships and gone on to persue professional golf careers. Which ever path your junior chooses to take, the NCJGA team is here to make their journey fun and memorable.
