LIBERTY CORNER, N.J. – The United States Golf Association has announced Colorado Golf Club, in Parker, Colo., as the host site for the 2030 U.S. Junior Amateur Championship. The dates of the championship are July 22-27, 2030.
“The USGA is excited to return to Colorado Golf Club and appreciates the club’s support of amateur golf and their collaboration throughout the years,” said Rob Doone, director of the U.S. Junior Amateur for the USGA. “The club will host an international field of the best junior players; all hoping to manage and execute their games at the highest level as they compete for the title of world’s best and a spot in the U.S. Open.”
Colorado Golf Club has previously hosted one USGA championship – the 2019 U.S. Mid-Amateur, won by Lukas Michel, an Australian who became the first international player to win the championship with a 2-and-1 triumph over Joseph Deraney. The club was also the co-host of the 2023 U.S. Amateur Championship at nearby Cherry Hills Country Club, won by Nick Dunlap.
“Colorado Golf Club is a strategic and demanding championship venue, and we could not be more proud to welcome the 2030 U.S. Junior Amateur Championship,” said Graham Cliff, the club’s Director of Golf. “With an emphasis on the future generation of professional golfers, the Junior Amateur is meaningful to our members and to golf enthusiasts everywhere. When you look at the past winners of this event, it is clear to see that these competitors are the future of professional golf. We are thrilled to host in 2030.”
Designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, Colorado Golf Club opened for play in 2006. The 1,700-acre property was once an Arabian horse ranch and features views of Colorado’s Front Range, dominated by Pikes Peak, Mount Evans and Longs Peak. The course plays through open meadows, foothills of ponderosa pine, natural gullies and streams.
The club has a storied tradition of hosting state, regional and national tournaments. It hosted the 2010 Senior PGA Championship, won by Tom Lehman in a dramatic playoff over Fred Couples and David Frost. The club also hosted the 2013 Solheim Cup, welcoming over 125,000 spectators a day to watch notable players such as Paula Creamer, Lexi Thompson, Jessica Korda and 17-year-old Charley Hull battle it out during the biennial competition.
There have been 35 USGA championships contested in the state of Colorado through the 2025 season, including three U.S. Junior Amateurs (1950 at Denver Country Club, 1976 at Hiwan Golf Club and 1987 at Sonnenalp Golf Club).
The U.S. Junior Amateur is open to amateur golfers who are 19 years of age or younger with a Handicap Index® that does not exceed 2.4. A starting field of 264 players will be cut to the top 64 scorers for match play. Five 18-hole rounds of match play will determine the finalists who will square off in the 36-hole championship match to decide the winner.
