Junior Championships

Maine Golf is combining two popular formats into one tournament and calling it the Maine Junior Individual & Team Championship. This will be a marquee two-day, 36-hole event hosted by Riverside Golf Course, Portland, Maine on August 1st & 2nd.

Similar to the Maine high school state championships, we will run an individual and team championship at the same time. The team championship is an “optional” additional opportunity to play with a teammate, friend or acquaintance. It is not mandatory to have a teammate to play in the event.

Teams will be comprised of two players. Players may select their teammate however they see fit. There are no restrictions. Teams will be flighted based on the age of the older player of the two participants.

Individuals, that want to play as individuals only, are encouraged to compete at the same time for the overall medalist. The individual medalist will be the Maine Junior Champion.  We will have flights for the individual winners as well.
