The American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) is excited to announce the AJGA Maryville Junior, scheduled for August 2-6, 2026, at Mozingo Lake Golf Course in Maryville, Missouri. The event will bring premier junior golf competition to northwest Missouri for the first time, featuring a competitive 54-hole championship for junior golfers ages 12–19.
Mozingo Lake Golf Course (Sechrest 18) is a championship-caliber public layout designed by Donald Sechrest and set among rolling hills along the shores of Mozingo Lake. The course features ryegrass playing surfaces, scenic lakeside terrain and a strategic design that balances challenge with playability. Mozingo Lake Golf Course has earned significant recognition from NBC’s GolfPass, including No. 3 in Missouri’s Top Courses (2024), No. 11 nationally for Course Conditions (2024), No. 13 nationally for Off-Course Amenities (2024), No. 9 nationally for Value (2025), No. 14 nationally for Layout in the U.S. (2025), and No. 7 nationally in Pace of Play (2025).
The event will be hosted in partnership with the City of Maryville, which will serve as the tournament’s title sponsor. The AJGA Maryville Junior will include a Junior-Am Fundraising Event, providing local golfers, business leaders and community members with the opportunity to compete alongside elite junior players while supporting a meaningful cause. All charitable proceeds from the Junior-Am will directly benefit area high school golf programs, including Maryville, Stanberry, Tarkio, Rock Port and Worth County. Through participation in the Junior-Am or by helping spread awareness, residents can play an active role in welcoming this national tournament to Maryville while supporting the growth of youth golf across northwest Missouri.
