PROFILE
The TOUR of Greater Boston Outstanding Courses, Competition and A True Club Experience
T
here are many options out there for today’s golfers, but there are not many that can provide amateur golfers with the chance to play tournament golf at the best private & public courses in New England. The TOUR of Greater Boston does exactly that. All members get to experience professionally run events on over 50 outstanding courses, with the friendliest group of golfers you could ever wish to meet. With over 28 years of experience, the TOUR is officially recognized as a USGA/ MGA member club, the only difference is that the TOUR travels to different courses each week. Members still enjoy the same benefits of standard member clubs including; handicap management & access to all MGA & USGA qualifying events. What sets the TOUR apart from other options in the area? 1. It’s about the courses Members of the TOUR get to play on some of the best private & public courses in New England. In 2020, we have events at Eastward Ho!, Oyster Harbors, Wannamoisset, Rhode Island CC, Pine Brook, Granite

Links & Thorney Lea, plus many more. 2. It’s about having fair & fun competitive events All events are set up for golfers with handicaps from scratch through to 28, with a variety of tournament formats. Prizes are offered for players in both Gross and Net divisions, with optional skins & closest to the pin pools. In addition to the regular schedule, there are season long individual and team match play events, as well as a season ending TOUR event with clubs from Pittsburgh, Chicago & Atlanta played in Orlando, Florida. 3. It’s about the members The TOUR wouldn’t be what it is without the members. New members join & existing members come back year after year not just because of the golf, but because of the fun, the laughs & the friendships formed whilst playing this great game or at the 19th hole. We keep things relaxed, but all our members respect the game, the rules & the pace of play.
