What is the Golfweek Amateur Tour?

Entering its fourteenth season, the purpose of the Tour is to conduct stroke-play golf tournaments for golfers of all ages and handicaps. Through this competition, the Golfweek Tour promotes the sport of golf by providing an atmosphere of friendly, fair, and well managed competition for amateur golfers in the pursuit of excellence.


Why should I play?

Our tournaments are held at the best courses in each city. All tournaments are played by USGA rules and handicaps are tracked on each player to ensure the integrity of each flight. The competition allows members to play under pressure just like the Pros.

What if I don't have a handicap card?

Call the Local Director of the Tour and they will access your level based on your most recent scores. Once you’re placed into a flight, your tournament scores and handicap index are posted on the national web page


What do I win?

Based on the size of the tournament, gift certificates are awarded to the top 3 players in each flight. Trophies are awarded to the first place winner at each tournament. Each director tries to get local sponsors for additional prizes for long drive and closest to the pins.


How many tournaments do I have to play in?

Play in as many or as few as you would like. The Tour does not require any set amount of tournaments, but to qualify for your local finals and the Tour Championship you will need to play more often.

You can join the Tour anytime during the season. The sooner you join, the more points you start accumulating towards the points race.

When are the tournaments played?

All the tournaments are played on the weekends, with the majority being played on Saturday. Tee times vary but are posted on the website for you to plan your tournament schedule accordingly.
