Colorado Golf Club to host 2030 U.S. Junior Amateur Championship

Another premier golf event is coming to Colorado.

The 2030 U.S. Junior Amateur Championship will be held at Colorado Golf Club in Parker, the United States Golf Association announced Monday. It will be the second USGA championship at the course, following the 2019 U.S. Mid-Amateur.

The Centennial State has hosted a string of notable golf tournaments in recent years.

The 2023 U.S. Amateur Championship was held at Cherry Hills Golf Club, an event co-hosted by Colorado Golf Club. That same year, the U.S. Girls’ Junior was held at Eisenhower Golf Club at the U.S. Air Force Academy near Colorado Springs.

The 2024 BMW Championship, the state’s first PGA Tour event since 2014, was held at Castle Pines Golf Club. And earlier this year, The Broadmoor Golf Club in Colorado Springs held the U.S. Senior Open Championship.

Colorado Golf Club, which opened in 2006, has established itself as a premier course over its couple of decades of existence. The Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw design, which was once an Arabian horse ranch, hosted the 2010 Senior PGA Championship and the 2013 Solheim Cup, in addition to other state and regional tournaments.

The U.S. Junior Amateur is open to amateur golfers who are 19 years or younger with a handicap that doesn’t exceed 2.4. It will feature a field of 264 golfers, which is then cut to the top 64 scorers for match play. There are five 18-hole rounds of match play, followed by a 36-hole championship match.
