In our latest tournament offering it is our pleasure to announce our ProDreamUSA Open in Germany!
Following on from the German Boys & Girls tournament on 15-17th May at Bad Saarrow golf course, near Berlin, we will be hosting the ProDreamUSA German Open on 18th & 19th May at that very same golf course.
The German Boys & Girls is an established tournament with dozens of US College Coaches attending in person. Whilst the field for the event is very exclusive, we aim to put together an event that will give more players, boys and girls, the opportunity to play in front of College Coaches, many of whom have indicated they will remain on site in order to see more players on their visit.
As with all of our events the tournament will qualify for both WAGR and EGR points, 18 holes will be played on the first day followed by a cut and 36 holes the following day. The event will be open to Boys and Girls aged under 19 as of 1 January 2025.
Practice round- Available 1 week prior to the event by contacting the club directly (details advised upon successful entry)
Round 1 – 18 holes with lunch included after the round
Round 2 & 3 - 36 holes with a break for included lunch after 18
