2-Person Golf Events

Simply put, The Mitten Golf Tour runs 2-person amateur golf tournaments in fun formats (2-man scramble, 2-man best ball, etc) at some of the state’s best public courses. We also donate some proceeds to The First Tee of West Michigan! There is no handicap needed (we use flights) - simply sign up with a partner for whichever events work for you and try us out!

A typical event will have 50-60 teams, split into 5 flights. Flights are based on “day of” scoring on the day of the event.

All amateur golfers are welcome to sign up for Mitten Golf Tour events (age 15 & older). Golfers do not need a handicap to play, as we use flights, not handicaps. For a typical 18-hole event, this is how it works:

• All teams play 18-holes with their partner
• After the round, we randomly select 1 of the 9-holes to determine flights. If the 9 that is selected is the 1st 9 Holes, then teams are placed into flights based on the 1st 9 hole score (so that teams end up competing against teams with similar scores/ability levels)
• Within each flight, teams are ranked by their Total, 18-hole score

The top few teams in each flight will earn great prizes - including VISA Gift Cards!

Note: If any professional golfers play in a Mitten Golf Tour Event, they will not be eligible for any prizes, skins game earnings, or proxies and no refund will be given

The entry fee for each tournament covers greens fees, cart fees, range balls, and prizes.

At each event, the field will be separated into flights based on “day of” scoring. The Top 4 Teams in each flight will be awarded prizes in the form of gift cards. Each tournament will also have optional cash skins games.

The Mitten Golf Tour has a season-long points list, where the top teams will be awarded some great prizes - including rounds at Arcadia Bluffs, Forest Dunes, Treetops, Pilgrim’s Run, and more!
