Willow Point to host 2017 Southern Golf Association’s Junior Amateur Championship

June 12-15
Willow Point Golf & Country Club

The Southern Golf Association, which administers two major national amateur events each year, has selected Willow Point to host the 45th Southern Junior Amateur Championship. Initially, we agreed to host the event in 2018, but with Greenville Country Club (SC) experiencing an unexpected greens renovation, we agreed to step up and take the event this year.

This event will bring the top 168 junior players from around the WORLD to Willow Point next week. This is a very big deal and adds another sparkling highlight to the prestige of Willow Point Golf & Country Club!

“Our golf course is worthy of championship competition,” said Matt Sheppard, Willow Point golf pro. “Historically, this has been more of a regional event. In years past, we’ve really limited ourselves to state events, so we’re trying to branch out and get more people to the Lake Martin region.”

The 2016 event was held at The University of Texas Golf Club and drew players from New York to California to Malaysia. Willow Point staff have been heavily involved in the planning, volunteer recruitment, and hospitality portion of this year’s tournament.
