The countdown to another exciting season of tournament golf in Vermont has begun. With the 2026 Vermont Golf Association (VGA) Tournament Calendar now available and registration opening March 15, golfers across the state can begin planning their competitive summer.
From historic championship venues to statewide one-day competitions and a growing junior tour, the 2026 calendar features a wide range of opportunities for golfers of all ages and skill levels.
The centerpiece of Vermont’s amateur golf season will once again be the Vermont Amateur Championship, scheduled for July 7–9 at Ekwanok Country Club in Manchester.
Few venues in the state carry the same history and prestige as Ekwanok. Consistently ranked among the top courses in New England, the John Duncan Dunn and Walter Travis designed layout will provide a challenging and memorable stage as Vermont’s best amateur players compete for one of the state’s most coveted titles.
The Vermont Amateur remains the pinnacle of amateur golf in the Green Mountain State and regularly features many of the region’s top competitors.
One of the most exciting updates to the 2026 calendar comes with the Vermont Spring Four-Ball Championship, which will now include women’s divisions for the first time.
The Spring Four-Ball has long been one of the most popular early-season championships on the VGA schedule, bringing teams together to kick off the competitive golf season. The addition of women’s divisions marks an important step forward in expanding playing opportunities and continuing to grow competitive golf for women across Vermont.
The expanded championship will allow more players to participate in one of the VGA’s most anticipated early-season events.
The Vermont Junior Amateur Championship will be held July 22–24 at Kwiniaska Golf Club in Shelburne, bringing together the best junior players from across the state.
The Junior Amateur represents the highest level of junior competition in Vermont and has long served as a launching point for many of the state’s top amateur and collegiate players.
In addition to the championship, the Vermont Junior Tour will once again feature a full summer schedule of tournaments designed to introduce young golfers to competitive play while helping them develop their skills.
While championships headline the calendar, State Day events remain one of the most popular offerings from the VGA.
These one-day tournaments take place at golf courses throughout Vermont and are designed to provide fun, competitive opportunities for players of all skill levels. With formats flighted by handicap, State Days allow golfers to compete against players of similar ability while enjoying tournament golf at some of Vermont’s best courses.
For many VGA members, State Days are a seasonal staple and a great way to experience competitive golf in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
Beyond the marquee championships and State Days, the VGA calendar features a wide range of competitions throughout the season, including events for juniors, women, seniors, and amateur players across multiple divisions.
From early-season tournaments in the spring to championship play in mid-summer, the schedule highlights many of Vermont’s premier golf facilities and brings together players from every corner of the state.
With so many exciting events on the schedule, golfers are encouraged to review the calendar and begin planning their tournament season now. Registration for 2026 VGA events opens March 15, and popular tournaments often fill quickly.
Whether you are chasing a championship title, playing in your first State Day, or competing on the Junior Tour, the 2026 VGA season promises another memorable summer of golf across the Green Mountains.
