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 and your guests will see that the JA Golf Classic is a different kind of day.

It begins when you pull in the driveway at Tumble Brook Country Club and are promptly welcomed by our staff.

Once again this year you will have the opportunity to shop from the comfort of your own home ahead of the tournament. Browse the product catalog and leisurely make your selections from Adidas, Taylor Made, Titleist, and others! Upon arrival you will recieve your items and recieve a free sleeve of ProVI golf balls. If you haven’t shopped yet, there will also be a small pop-up shop for you to choose items from. You will then be treated to a sumptuous breakfast on the Patio. Following breakfast, test your skills at the putting contest or warm up on the driving range.

Back again this year, you will be able to choose your type of play, Best Ball or Scramble. Shotgun tee-off is at 10 o’clock.

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

We know that you will thoroughly enjoy being part of the JA Golf Classic and we invite you to join us on Monday, June 3, 2024.
