Tour Membership FAQs

The Amateur Players Tour is the fastest growing am tour on the continent, with over 40 chapters across the United States and Canada, consisting of a local schedule in each market, national events at bucket-list destinations, and a season-ending championship (open and senior) for top finishers in each local chapter. The APT provides a professionally run tournament experience for the everyday golfer of all ages and ability levels, allowing golfers to compete against players of their own skill level at some of the best golf facilities in their area and across the continent.

Membership is open to players of all ages and skill levels who love competitive golf and camaraderie. We offer 5 divisions based on your skill level, with options for seniors in every chapter. Ladies play from a tee with a similar rating to the tee of their male division counterparts, creating an equitable atmosphere for women.

We have everyone from plus handicaps to the 30+ handicapper who is just starting to play but enjoys competition. Join and become part of the best golf community on the planet!

The Amateur Players Tour offers 5 different divisions for players to compete in:

Division	Handicap Range

New players will fill out the APT Handicap Questionnaire, sent to them upon joining which will be used to place the player in their correct division.  The APT Competition Committee will use the 12-month low USGA Handicap if available, other tournament data, as well as the handicap questionnaire to determine the proper division placement.  New players can request relegation after 2 rounds by submitting an e-mail to the Competition Committee at handicaps@aptgolf.org.
