Grande Prairie Golf & Country Club - Junior Information

Congratulations Cameron Faase on the U19 McLennan Ross Alberta Junior Tour Championship win!

And that's a wrap on the 30th season on the MRAJT! Here are your winners from the 2026 Tour Championship.

Congrats to all the winners and a big thank you to the parents, players, and of course McLennan Ross for all their support this year.

Big thanks to Carter and the entire staff at Grande Prairie Golf and Country Club for putting on such a successful, well-organized Peace Country Junior Golf Tour season!

Our junior program continues to be strong and growing, with so many talented, bright, and respectful young golfers coming through. It’s incredibly exciting to see the enthusiasm and potential in this next generation.

The future of our club is looking very bright! We’re proud to support these young golfers as they learn, compete, and grow both on and off the course.

Thank you again to everyone who helped make the season such a success! 🙌

Tee times are set for tomorrow’s PCJT Tour Championship!

The original plan was to play the championship in a match-play format. However, due to the number of registrations and available tee times, the tournament will now be played as an 18-hole stroke-play event.

Following the tournament, we will also recognize and award the top three finishers in each division’s season-long points race!

Good luck to all our junior golfers tomorrow. We’re looking forward to a great finish to an incredible season!

What a fantastic 2 days of golf at the 2026 The Dunes Junior Open! Congratulations to all of our competitors for their sportsmanship and outstanding play.

Congratulations to James Howie on winning the U19 division and finishing 2nd overall after an incredible 4-way playoff at the Play Golf Alberta Junior Masters at the Cougar Creek Golf Resort, AB.

James sank a clutch putt to stay alive and force a playoff with Jayden Popik (U17). Both players hit their approach shots inside 5 feet, with Jayden making the winning putt.

We’re incredibly proud of James for representing GPG&CC with such outstanding golf all weekend ⛳️
