What format is the tournament?
The four person scramble features an energetic, social, and competitive format designed to keep pace-of-play moving smoothly while keeping the energy high on every hole.

Can I sign up by myself or do I need a full team?
Both options are available. You can purchase a single spot and our committee will pair you up with an awesome crew, or you can register a complete foursome to tackle the links together.

How do the Beginners Golf Clinics work?
New for Year Two, we are offering two clinics on Monday from 4-4:45 PM and 5-5:45 PM. These classes provide top-tier instructions covering setup, posture, and ball-striking basics in a supportive environment.

Do I need to bring my own golf clubs to the clinic?
No equipment is necessary. We will provide clubs on-site for clinic registrants who do not have their own.

Do I need a separate ticket for Sunday's Day Party if I am golfing in the tournament?
No. Your Tournament Foursome or Single Golfer registration automatically includes individual entry to Sunday’s Day Party at Puttery.

Can I attend if I do not play golf?
Of Course! You can purchase individual passes for the Saturday Dinner Party, Sunday Day Party and Afties Clubhouse Takeover if you just want to experience the lifestyle, music, and community vibes. You can also purchase a Non-Golfer Weekend Pass that grants you entry to all three events at a discounted price.

What is the required dress code for the weekend?
Think fly fairways and upscale country club style mixed with modern city looks. For the golf course on Monday, standard guidelines at Harborside International require traditional golf attire (collared shirts, shorts and slacks, golf skirts and dresses). Denim, cargo clothing, and casual gym sweatpants are restricted on the course greens.
