About the Jackson Junior golf Tour

Our Mission

The RW Mercer Jackson Junior Golf Tour was established in 2004 by David Gilpin who wanted to foster a love for golf among young players. We aim to provide a supportive environment where kids can compete, learn, and grow their skills on the course.

Our Tour requires a $20 registration fee, and then juniors sign up for 9- and 18-hole events ranging from $15-$24. See the list of events below for more information on fees.

Golfers should have some basic experience, knowledge and understanding of the game. Kids ages 8-18 are welcome.

Our Tour's History

The Jackson Junior Golf Tour was the vision of one of Jackson, Michigan's top players who put his clubs away, so he could focus on the next generation of players.
