You are invited to participate in a legendary day of golf like you have never experienced before.

The JA Golf Classic has earned a well-deserved reputation as the premier golf event in Central New England. From the moment you arrive at the beautiful Tumble Brook Country Club in Bloomfield, Connecticut, you’ll see that the JA Golf Classic is a truly unique experience.

Your day begins as you pull into the driveway, where our staff will warmly greet you. Ahead of the tournament, you can shop from the comfort of your home by browsing the product catalog. Select from top brands such as Adidas, TaylorMade, Titleist, and more. Upon arrival, you’ll receive your items along with a free sleeve of Pro V1 golf balls. If you haven’t had the chance to shop yet, a pop-up shop will be available for you to explore.

Next, enjoy a delicious breakfast on the patio. Afterward, test your skills at the putting contest or warm up on the driving range. Choose between Best Ball or Scramble play, with shotgun tee-off starting at 10:00 a.m.

Throughout the day, bid on auction items and enjoy on-course amenities, including a cigar bar, barbecue, and beverage stations. After your round of golf, join us on the patio for cocktail hour, followed by dinner and the awards ceremony.

We’re excited to have you join us for the JA Golf Classic and look forward to seeing you on Monday, June 2, 2025.

All proceeds benefit Junior Achievement

Junior Achievement serves over 30,000 students annually across Connecticut, building a world where young people have the skills and mindset to build thriving communities. Through our mission of hope, inspiration, and empowerment, we provide financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship learning experiences delivered by volunteers from the local business community.

In partnership with these volunteers, JA supports students as they explore career paths and industries that were previously unknown or seen as unattainable. With over 30 proven programs for K-12 students, JA has become a trusted partner for educators, providing impactful programming and improving life outcomes for thousands of students statewide.

Choose between Best Ball or Scramble

The JA Golf Classic is offering the choice between the best-ball tournament and a scramble. Foursomes will make their selection upon registration through the Golf Genius platform. The tournament will be directed by the professional golf staff of Tumble Brook Country Club. Awards will be presented in low gross and low net categories for both best ball and scramble. In addition, there are longest-drive, closest-to-the-pin, and putting contests – for both men and women.
