Our Story and Board Leadership

Since 2020, BCJGA has been dedicated to growing the game of golf in Barry County - building character, competition, and community for youth from first grade to eighth grade. None of it happens without the volunteer board members who give their time, expertise, and passion every season.

"Barry County Junior Golf Association will strive to provide the opportunity for youth to fall in love with the game of golf."
