As Lincoln Park comes back as the traditional second venue, we've adjusted the schedule for more efficient play
The 2025 San Francisco City Championship is here, with a few exciting changes to make participation more streamlined. Hosted by TPC Harding Park and Lincoln Park, two fantastic San Francisco staples, players are in for a treat and elite competition. Lincoln Park, a former host of the SF City, returns to the rotation with players getting spectacular views overlooking the Bay Bridge.
Registration opens for all players on October 1 at 9:00am PST. For full details, visit the registration portals at AmateurGolf.com or sfgolfchampionship.com.
Contrary to popular belief, players do not need to be a resident to participate. Along with the change in golf course, the other major change is the continuous rounds scheduled for the senior division. This makes it more sensible for seniors from out of state to compete creating a tremendous opportunity to play a match-play event with senior and super senior divisions. No more days off between matches.
The SF City is a one-time entry fee. It covers all tournament rounds for as far as you’re able to advance. With exception to the pre-qualifier, which if you advance you only pay the difference in fees to move on.
Membership with AmateurGolf.com gets you a $100 lower entry fee than non-member registration, so for members of AmateurGolf.com, now is a good time to make sure your membership is up to date. For others, it is a chance to join the largest community of amateur golfers anywhere, while gaining access to a world of tournament and player information.
