The LCJGA provides the opportunity to play at some great courses in the Licking County area and to give junior boys and girls ages 10-18 the opportunity to compete and play golf during the summer.

The LCJGA will resume play in June of 2026. The upcoming 2026 season will consist of six events (four in June and two in July), with each being played at a golf course in or near Licking County that coordinates with some of the courses that will be played by middle school and high school teams in the Licking County League for golf matches. Each event will be a stroke play match following the USGA and Ohio High School Athletic rules.

*Please check back after the first of the year for updates regarding 2026 tournament schedule. Registration for summer of 2026 events will run from February through May of 2026.
