BROOKFIELD, Wis. – The American Society of Golf Course Architects (ASGCA) has brought back a program to showcase creativity in golf course architecture among young people. “The Great Junior Golf Design Challenge of 2021,” encourages children to design their own golf hole and gives families and educators an opportunity to involve children in the art of golf course design. Deadline for submission is APRIL 15, 2021.
First introduced in 2020, the Challenge is simple. Young people ages 17 and younger may submit design ideas for golf holes of any par, style or strategy, and from whimsical to serious. A submission may be created in any medium (pencil, markers, crayon or digital) as long as it fits within the provided border from ASGCA. just use the form posted here and send the completed design to juniordesign@asgca.org.
Scans or photos of designs may be sent via email to juniordesign@asgca.org or uploaded via Twitter to @ASGCA to be shared on social media and ASGCA.org. Complete information may be found here.
A group of ASGCA members will review submissions and one will be chosen to receive a prize from ASGCA Foundation, with a matching award presented to a local First Tee chapter. Additionally, every submission will be entered into a drawing, and two artists will each receive a voucher to shop at USKidsGolf.com, the online home of U.S. Kids Golf!
Many designs will be shared on ASGCA social media channels, including Facebook, Twitter (@ASGCA) and Instagram (@asgca1947). Below are a few examples of submissions from last year, including a few comments from ASGCA members. We will showcase this year’s submissions as we receive them.
