About the tournament
Here's overview text for The Ramateur:
The Ramateur — December 4-6, 2026
Now in its 7th edition, The Ramateur is the signature event at Rams Hill Golf Club in Borrego Springs, California. This weekend tournament pairs competitive golf with resort-style hospitality in the heart of the Anza-Borrego desert.
Players compete over two days of individual net stroke play, with the festivities kicking off Friday night at the Glow Ball Welcome Event. Entry includes more than five full meals across the weekend, headlined by the Saturday Night Players' Steak Dinner, plus additional on-course food and drink from SoCal partners. Every participant receives a welcome gift bag on arrival and is entered into the Sunday Raffle, where the Grand Prize is a Golf Getaway at The House on the Hill.
Tournament packages range from golf-only entry to multi-night stays at nearby resorts—Borrego Springs Resort and La Casa Del Zorro—as well as on-property golf houses that sleep two to four players. Every package bundles lodging, tournament entry, and all taxes and fees into one price, making it easy to lock in a full weekend for yourself or a group.
Whether you're chasing the leaderboard or the desert sunset, The Ramateur delivers a signature Rams Hill experience.
