Who is Eligible

The NNJGA is open to junior members 7 to 18 years of age*. Click here for more information. The program runs from June through August. We are offering three levels of competition. We annually conduct parent meetings and rule seminars to continue the education of the juniors and parents on the Rules of Golf, Golf Etiquette, and to instill the “True Spirit” of this great sport in everyone’s heart 

How to get started

Membership in the NNJGA is limited. Please note this is not a program for brand new golfers. This program is geared more for the intermediate to advanced tournament players.

NNJGA members must be able to shoot qualifier scores per their age division and level which are shown on the table. All of our players have already learned the fundamentals and etiquette of the game as well as have playing knowledge of the Basic Rules of Golf.

If you think this is for your Jr

If you think this is for your Jr you can request an application by calling the office at 775.742.4574 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. We will ask you about your Jr’s golf background, such as, how long they have been playing and average scores for a 9 or 18 hole round.  This information will help place the Jr in the proper level to compete and most importantly to have a good experience.  This is a game for a lifetime.

A PGA or LPGA golf professional or coach signature is also required on New applications along with the players and the parent's signature.  Upon receipt of your information and after verification of skill and rules knowledge an application will be sent to you.

We hope to see you teeing it up with us this summer.

NNJGA Welcome to Tournament Golf

Welcome juniors and parents to the Northern Nevada Junior Golf Association web site. The NNJGA’s mission is to provide junior golfers in Northern Nevada with the opportunity to experience competitive golf.  We believe in self-reliance and accepting responsibility for one's actions through competition. Our level 3 program focus is on golfers who have learned the fundamentals of the game, etiquette, and knowledge of the Rules of Golf. We provide an opportunity for them to test their abilities against other juniors in Northern Nevada and at team events on the west coast.

Level 1-2 is more for the first time tournament player that would like to hone their skills. We are going to play a points system style of golf for that level.  

Many of our former juniors have attained college scholarships, had or have successful careers in golf, and are business leaders in the community.
