  • Nope! We have season-long prizes AND monthly prizes.

    Every member is invited to compete in the finals, no matter their standings, however the top 10 positions will start with a 5-stroke lead over the rest of the field.

  • All events are 18-hole, net stroke play format. You can learn more about our Rules of Play below.

  • In each month long tournament, you’ll compete in a flight with golfers of similar handicaps, and any points that you earn as a result of your performance will show up in the season-long leaderboard linked in the Discord channel.

    We also have Majors, group outings, where points are doubled for the day.

  • Details are shared upon registration.

  • Members are responsible for booking their own tee times directly with the course or via third-party such as GolfNow. Our Discord channel makes it very easy to coordinate rounds with other members and our club staff will also book out tee times in advance for members to book.

  • You must play with another member to attest your score.

    FBG Tour members can find other members to play by using our virtual clubhouse on our Discord Server, which allows for golfers to connect and share their availability for an individual tournament or on a recurring basis.

  • Any members posting scores better than net even par or earning points in their division will undergo an automatic review of their Handicap Index history to check for any anomalies.

  • Any score that produces a Score Differential™ that is at least 7.0 strokes better than your Handicap Index® at the time the round was played is considered exceptional and is subject to the exceptional score reduction.

    If the Score Differential is between 7.0 and 9.9 strokes better, a -1 adjustment is applied to each of the most recent 20 Score Differentials in your scoring record. This has a net impact of reducing the Handicap Index by 1 stroke.

    If the Score Differential is 10.0 strokes or better, a -2 adjustment is applied to each of the most recent 20 Score Differentials. This has a net impact of reducing the Handicap Index by 2 strokes.

  • Yes, an active USGA handicap index is required. If you don’t have one, we can set you up with one when you register for our highest-tiered membership.

Rules of Play

  • We have capped the course index at a maximum of 36 strokes for all events

  • If there's a tie in net scores on our leaderboards, we break it using tiebreakers based on the net score of the most challenging handicap (HDCP) hole. We work our way backward from the hardest to the easiest in case of ties.

  • We utilize the Stroke and Distance out of bounds rule. For more info please click here for a quick video:
