Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Become A Sponsor?
We have expanded our sponsorship opportunities for the tournament. If you are interested in sponsoring the tournament, please use the "contact us" page.
The SDGA is a 501(c)(3) organization! As a part of our mission to grow the game of golf, we will be making a donation the the First Tee of Eastern Michigan and will be exploring ways to partner with them on volunteer opportunities at their events.
Are there still exemptions for success in past SDGA tournaments?
We have not eliminated exemptions. There will be an early registration period for those who meet the exemption criteria (see the RULES) and we look forward to your continued participation in The District. Exempt players can also register during General Registration but registration will close once the field is full.
I'm not exempt, how do I register and how many spots are available?
You will register during General Registration. Registration is first-come, first-served so when the field for each division is full, registration will close. The Open Division will have 36 players and the Legends Division will have 18 players. Check the website for the number of available spots and if your entry was received.
Is there a qualifying tournament? What courses host the tournament?
The qualifying tournament was eliminated in 2016.
Beginning in 2020, the SDGA Tournament is now on a 4-course rotation (subject to change):
Apple Mountain Golf Course
Sawmill Golf Club
The Fortress
Saginaw Country Club
Is there a handicap requirement to enter?
No, however, our pace of play policy will require participants to keep pace or risk penalty or disqualification. Also, participants who fail to return a score within 20 strokes of the cut for their division may have future entries denied.
