Ryder Cup Registration Is Open

2016 Hamlet Ryder Cup

Saturday October 8 - Sunday October 9

What is the Ryder Cup?

Simply put... Two member teams - 54 Holes - Multi Format Golf Event


The Ryder Cup is one of the golf calendars most anticipated events of the year.  Each member signs up individually, and after the sign up deadline, members are drafted onto two teams by the golf professional staff.


Teams are chosen in an effort to create two equal teams based on handicap index and all matches will be will pair players of similar handicaps from both teams for each match.


Play begins at 8AM on Saturday morning with 36 holes of team play in both Foursomes and Four-Ball competition and continue on Sunday with 18 holes of singles.  Based on the number of players on each team, all players may not play in both morning and afternoon matches on Saturday but it is REQUIRED that all players be available to play in the Sunday singles!!


Members who are unable to commit to both days will not be guaranteed a spot on a team and may only be chosen for a match as needed.

Entry Fee - $100  (Tee gift & Sunday afternoon reception included)
The winning team splits the remainder of the purse as pro shop credit
