The Idea

A golf day built
around the people on it.

HAPPY TOUR is a modern community event by YGC. Real golf, real people, real conversations — competitive enough to matter, social enough to remember, open enough that your friend who's never held a club belongs here too.

One shotgun. Nine holes. Five hosted bets. A pro-led beginner course running alongside. And a clubhouse where the tournament and the beginners finish the day at the same table.

Play hard. Meet people. Stay for the clubhouse.

Two Ways In

Pick your lane.
Same day. Same clubhouse.

Track A

The Tournament

9 holes. Best Ball. 36 players, 9 flights, shotgun start. Five hosted bets running across the round.

  • Here with a partner who plays
  • Want a real first taste

Same day · Same energy · Same clubhouse afterwards

The Format

Best Ball.
Easy to learn. Hard to lose.

Built so a 12 and a 36 handicap can high-five on the same hole.

01

Everyone plays their own ball.

Four players. One hole. Four shots in the air.

02

Best score on the hole counts.

We take the best of the four. Move on.

03

Your flight wins together.

Add up nine holes. Lowest total takes Edition 01.

The Beginner Course

Never swung a club?
You're in the right place.

A small group, a real PGA-trained pro, premium rental clubs, and a clear, friendly path through your first day on a course. No handicap, no jargon, no looking-over-your-shoulder. We'll walk you in, set you up, and finish the day with you in the clubhouse — same table as the players.

This is also your easy way into the YGC community. Many of our current members started exactly here.

Putting & chipping bets are open to everyone — players and beginners.

01

Chubbs' Chip-In Challenge

The hosts bet nobody dunks one. If they lose, the field wins prizes.

02

Hit the Green on 9

A full flight must land their first shot on the 9th. All four. Or nothing.

03

Beat the Founder

Alex posts a benchmark the day before. Beat it as a flight or as the field.

04

Beat the Celebrity Flight

One mystery flight. One scoreboard. Bragging rights for a year.

05

The Social Media Challenge

A host commits to a public stunt. He wins, you pay. He flops, he pays.

FAQ

You ask,
we answer.

The Tournament
What is Best Ball / Fourball?

Four players, one team. Each plays their own ball. Best score on the hole counts. Add up nine holes — lowest total wins.

Do I need a handicap?

No official handicap required. The Best Ball format quietly evens skill levels inside a flight.

Can I sign up as a flight of 4?

Yes. Full flights get priority. There's an option in the registration form.

Can I sign up solo?

Yes — we'll match you into a flight.

What's included in the player pass?

Greenfee, welcome, drinks, snacks, all five bets, prizes, and the clubhouse afterplay.

Dress code?

Relaxed-premium. Look like you care, not like you're at a board meeting.

The Beginner Course
I've literally never held a club. Ok?

Perfect. That's exactly who this track is for.

What's actually included?

Pro-led session, premium rental clubs, putting & chipping stations, a mini contest, drinks, and full clubhouse access at the end.

Will I look out of place?

No. The whole event is built around the idea that you belong, beginner or not.

Do I get to join the players afterwards?

Yes — that's the whole point. Both groups merge in the clubhouse.
