Young golfers, ages 8 – 14, can take advantage of a great opportunity to test their skills on three different Southern Maryland courses.
The first ever Tri-County Golf Junior Tour will allow budding golf enthusiasts to hit the links in Calvert, Charles and St. Mary’s counties.
The tour begins on June 24 with stops at county operated golf courses as follows:
- June 24 – Chesapeake Hills

Tee times begin at 10:30 a.m. on all dates. The format will be individual stroke play (2x par max score per hole). Golfers will be grouped into two age divisions (ages 8-10 and 11-14). Those in the 8-10 division will play nine holes at 1,000 – 1,500 yards. Golfers in the 11-14 division will play nine holes at 2,000 – 3,000 yards.
Registration fee is $10 per child and $10 per event. Prizes will be awarded for first and second place in each division. A complimentary awards banquet will be held August 12. Daily lunch specials will be available for $3 or less.
