The U.S. Kids Golf Phoenix Fall Local Tour wrapped up August 11, at Silverleaf Club in Scottsdale.  Throughout the fall, U.S. Kids Golf played some of the valley’s finest courses including: The Boulders, Western Skies GC, The Biltmore, Las Colinas GC, Orange Tree GC, Kierland GC, and Sun City CC.

US Kids fall 2013 Tour kicked off August 18th, 2013 at Ocotillo Golf Resort in Chandler.  The tour will play eight events August – December, 2013.

U.S. Kids Golf Local Tours provide boys and girls, ages 5 to 14, the opportunity to advance their golf skills in age-appropriate competition without having to take the time and incur the costs of having to travel long distances.  Similar to the PGA Tour, players at U.S. Kids Golf events are encouraged to have caddies to help them play their best. Allowing caddies is a special component of our tournaments and is part of our commitment to encouraging family interaction that builds lasting memories.  

Players age 8 and under must have a caddie at all times.

The top five finishers in each age group will receive priority status from U.S. Kids Golf, granting them priority registration for major events. The Player of the Year in each age group will receive green status, the highest level awarded, which results in an invitation to the World Championship, held each year at Pinehurst Resort.
