The National Resource Partners Bluegrass Junior presented by Encova Insurance will take place June 14-17, 2022, at Bellefonte Country Club in Ashland, Kentucky. The 54-hole (36-hole cut), stroke-play tournament has a 96-player field.
The first Bluegrass Junior was held in 1981 at Spring Lakes Country Club in Lexington, Kentucky, before moving to the Arlington Golf Center in 1982. Since 1984, Bellefonte Country Club has hosted the tournament, making it the longest-running AJGA venue. With many notable past champions, we look forward to crowning the 41st set of champions this year.
