If you shoot 69 or 99, you'll find friends on The TOUR. Play New England's best public, private, and premium courses with reserved tee times. We welcome men and women golfers of scratch or bogey level who enjoy playing a wide variety of courses in a low-key, fun, competitive atmosphere. If you can usually score below 100 or better, know the etiquette of the game, and are looking for compatible playing partners, give us a call.

We offer 50+ events are eveny distributed between weekdays and weekends and we visit more than 50 different courses annually. In addition to tournaments at premier public courses, we are scheduled to play 25 private/semi-private courses. Your chance to play several member-only venues. Our annual club championship is a two-day event.

Turn a normal round of golf into an event. We'll match you up in foursomes with other players of the same ability in Gross and Net divisions. We offer different playing formats including Stroke, Stableford, Fourball, Team, and Match Play. (Don't worry—we'll tell you how they work.)

• Prizes - At every event, at least one out of every four players goes home with a prize (in the form of Tour, course, or sponsor certificates). As a bonus, event winners are awarded TOUR Champion shirts plus certificates. At several sponsored events, we offer special prizes.

A good number of our Members over the years have gone from double-bogey to bogey-golfers, and from double-digit to single-digit handicaps.
