About This Event
The KC Junior Championship is Central Links Golf's premier 36-hole junior event in the Kansas City metro area, bringing together the region's top competitive boys and girls over two days of stroke play. A strong finish here earns Junior Golf Scoreboard ranking points and AJGA Performance Based Entry stars, both of which directly impact a junior's access to higher-level events. For Kansas City-area juniors, this is the marquee local title to chase each summer.
What Advancing Means
Winning or finishing near the top of the KC Junior Championship establishes a junior as one of the best players in the Kansas City metro, a result that carries weight on Junior Golf Scoreboard rankings and strengthens a recruiting profile for college coaches evaluating regional talent. The AJGA PBE stars earned here can also unlock entry opportunities into AJGA events that would otherwise require a longer qualifying path.
Coach's Take
This is one of the most efficient events on the Kansas City junior calendar — your player gets 36 holes of competitive stroke play, JGS ranking points, and AJGA PBE stars all in one weekend, which is hard to beat for the investment.
