Welcome to NNJGA

Welcome juniors and parents to the Northern Nevada Junior Golf Association.

Welcome to the Northern Nevada JR. Golf Association, the leading junior golf program since 1978. We are a 501c(3) Non-Profit Organization that prides ourselves on being the longest-running non-profit in the area, dedicated to nurturing young golfers. The NNJGA’s mission is to provide junior golfers in Northern Nevada with the opportunity to experience competitive golf but also the importance of friendships and the core values that help shape future leaders in the community. 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.

Join us in providing young athletes the opportunity to develop their skills on the course, while gaining invaluable life lessons that will last a lifetime. CORE VALUES: Honesty, Integrity, Sportsmanship, Respect, Fun & Friendship, and Stewardship.
