Why Doubles Golf®?

Relaxing

The new trademarked re-branding of the two-player scramble format, Doubles Golf®, allows for a less stressful and more “relaxed” approach to golf competition, where teammates can accent each other’s strengths while offsetting each other’s weaknesses.

Inclusive

The Doubles Golf® format will bring more juniors, women, and the millennial population into the game, and will keep seniors playing for years longer.

Recreational, yet Competitive

In 2021, teams have the opportunity to compete in Doubles Golf® Leagues at their local course, in Men’s, Women’s, Senior, Mixed and Adult/Junior Divisions.

Innovative

The Doubles Golf® scoring system will provide a rating and ranking for all Doubles Golf® teams. There is no limit to the number of teams a player can join. Click the Login button to sign up and register your team(s).

Founded in America

Through the inaugural US Doubles Golf® Am Championships in November of 2021, Doubles Golf® will become the first accredited Championship Golf format developed in the United States.

Convenient
