Checked October 2, 2026. Registration status is a dated snapshot, not a guarantee of space. Deadlines are applied automatically; new openings, cancellations and field changes require a refresh. Not a complete national calendar. Distances are approximate straight-line estimates.

South Florida PGA: choose a pathway

Choose a program to see its events below, ordered by date. Membership and eligibility requirements still apply.

How age and experience matching work

Local Tour results use U.S. Kids Golf’s published ages 5–14; ages 15–18 are offered on select tours. Enable the confirmation option to see those possibilities. Its Fall age cutoff is November 30. Confirm your event’s division before paying.

“First tournament” and “some experience” show Local Tour events as starting points to investigate—not a readiness assessment. U.S. Kids Golf recommends prior scoring of 63 or lower for nine holes from its recommended distances. The imported-event experience labels are broad starting points, not a tour-wide eligibility rule. The SFPGA program directory uses its separate Links, Prep and Medalist pathways. Age, division, invitation and other entry criteria still apply. U.S. Kids Golf registration guidance ↗

City searches match the venue city or tour name. ZIP searches omit events without usable venue ZIP data; try a city or state to include them. Fees shown may exclude membership, late charges and other costs.

SAVE THE GUESSWORK

Your first-event checklist

Before you pay

Confirm eligibility, holes, tees, format, full fees and refund deadlines with the organizer. Ask how caddies and spectators are handled.

Before you leave

Check the event instructions, arrival time and weather plan. Pack clubs, balls, tees, water, snacks and weather-appropriate clothing.

After the round

Give them space, then ask what they enjoyed. A tough score doesn’t have to spoil the day—or their love of golf.

Each event sets its own requirements. Use its current player information for the final checklist.

FROM OUR FAMILY

The waiting game is real.

We’ve had to skip events because a last-minute waitlist call didn’t work for our family. My wife keeps registration reminders, and we still miss some. Decide what travel and notice you can manage before committing.
