PGA Jr. League at Lonnie Poole
PGA Jr. League at Lonnie Poole Golf Course is for players between the ages of 7 and 17, and runs from February – October, but is split into two seasons. The Spring Season for 2026 will run from February to mid-June. Then, our Summer/Fall Season will pick up the rest of the year! Specific dates for the Summer/Fall Season are TBD.
Practices focus on specific skill development that will help each individual player succeed and meet their goals on the golf course. Matches are all about fun and team competition, but it can get serious out there for our better players. Last year, we had a great group of players from all skill levels and ages, from almost-beginners to competitive junior golfers.
On match days, participating players will be split into overall teams, and then partner up to make a two-person scramble (captain’s choice) team. That means both players hit a shot, and choose the better ball, then both hit shots from that spot. They continue until the ball is holed. Players are grouped by age and skill-level, and the course is setup according to each player’s experience level. For more information on format and rules, visit https://www.pgajrleague.com/

PGA Jr. League All-Star Season
Qualifying players will be selected to represent Lonnie Poole Golf Course in the PGA Jr. League Championship season. All-star teams from each age group can compete in sectional competitions against other courses in hopes of reaching the regionals and beyond. It’s highly competitive, so it will likely just be a fun way to compete with other local courses.
Only 12 regional champions from around the US will compete at the National Championship at PGA HQ in Frisco, Texas.
The All-Star Season will be held during the Summer/Fall Season.
