About mid-amateur golf tournaments amateur golf

Mid-amateur golf is where competitive players with jobs live: events restricted to 25-and-older (the USGA line) take the college kids out of the field and reward sharp weekend games.

The schedule below updates live from our catalog — state mid-ams, USGA Mid-Amateur qualifying, regional invitationals, and tour-style series. Each event page shows the format, eligibility line, and how to enter.

Mid-am results feed our national Mid-Amateur ranking, so a good summer here moves you up a list college coaches and championship committees actually read.

The flipped nines now open with a dramatic climb into the hills, setting up downhill tee shots and strategic approach demands.

Del Monte's timeless shotmaking test rewards position over power—wedge precision, correct approach angles, and patience in the pine corridors separate winners from the field, while putting becomes a divider rather than a savior on the classic, exacting greens.
