Brooks Match Play Qualifying

This is our premier match play event! The Club and Class Qualifying offers an 18-hole format, with the requirement that an 18-hole score is posted within the date range. An 18-hole medal play is used to determine the 16 low qualifiers for each flight who then continue on to match play competition. The champion and runner-up from each flight will compete in the Brooks Cup matches on October 3. Any amateur golfer 18 years of age or older with an official USGA handicap is eligible. There is no entry fee; fee is included with handicap purchase. Green fees must be paid for qualifying, first and second round matches. Green fees are complimentary for semi-final and final round matches. ALL PLAYERS MUST REGISTER IN THE GOLF SHOP PRIOR TO PLAY TO RECEIVE THEIR OFFICIAL QUALIFYING SCORECARD.
