About The Tour

Overview
The Downriver Junior Golf Tour is a first class junior  development tour exclusively for 13-18 year old junior golfers in Southeast Michigan. 

The primary goal of the tour is to provide junior golfers the opportunity to reach their potential by making available competitive playing opportunities, professional instruction, and golf specific strength training at an affordable price.  We firmly believe that when it comes to learning to deal with the stress of competitive golf there is no substitute for experience.


Tour Policies and Rules
Dress Code: No T-shirts or blue jeans allowed, boys must a collared shirt, shorts for both boys and girls must be at least to the bottom of your fingertips when standing erect with your arms at your sides.  

Inclement Weather:  We will play regardless of weather unless there are dangerous conditions such as lightning or if the course becomes unplayable. Cancellation or postponement of an event will be at the discretion of the tournament chairman.    

Rainout Policy:  If a tournament round is cancelled due to severe weather, players will have the option to apply the entry fee to the next event or have the money refunded which may take 10-14 days.  

Cancellation policy: If a player must cancel from a tournament round they must do so before the entry deadline for that event to receive a full refund. You can do this by calling 734-731-0189.  A cancellation after the deadline due to an emergency or sudden illness will require a physician's note.    

Tiebreaker: Ties for first place will be decided by a sudden death playoff. Ties for second and third will be decided by a putt-off.     

Behavior:  Club-throwing, cursing, cheating, or any unacceptable behavior will not be tolerated. Each occurrence will be ruled on its own merit and can result in a loss of all playing privileges.
