FORMAT:

  • All players will participate in a 36-hole stroke-play championship (18 holes each day)
  • The championship field will be divided evenly into four flights. Players will remain in the same flight in which they qualified, which was based on Handicap Indexes as of February 28.
  • During the championship, players will use their Handicap Index as of April 4 and will receive 95% of their Course Handicap (unless otherwise noted by the SCGA).
  • Awards will be given to those who finish in 1st through 5th place in each flight. All ties in all flights will be broken using the USGA suggested method of matching scorecards (Committee Procedures: Section 5A (6)).

 

REGISTRATION:

All players must check in at the SCGA registration table upon arrival. Registration will begin at 6 a.m. near the golf shop.

 

PRACTICE ROUNDS:

  • Players may plan for practice rounds at their own expense. To book a practice round, call the Soboba Springs Golf Shop at (951) 654-4300. Rate: $50, cart included.
  • Practice rounds are a privilege, not a right. The SCGA works with a variety of facilities throughout the course of the year, all of which have unique policies and procedures when it comes to practice rounds. These opportunities will be provided at the sole discretion of the host facility.
  • We are guests and must follow all facility policies and guidelines when on property. Behavior during practice rounds will be subject to the SCGA Code of Conduct.

 

LODGING ARRANGEMENTS:

The SCGA has partnered with Soboba Casino Resort to provide participants discounted access to stay on-site. Please call (951) 665-1000 and let them know you’re an SCGA participant by providing the group code 1723.

  • Pacific and San Andreas Flights will tee off in the afternoon wave on Monday and in the morning wave on Tuesday.
  • Lead groups should plan to be at their assigned tee 10 minutes in advance of their starting time. Subsequent groups are encouraged to arrive once the preceding group has teed off.
