Entry Terms & Conditions

Invited Host Professionals or Club Representatives are solely responsible for registering their teams for the event.  Once a Host Professional submits his/her registration, the club has two weeks to cancel its commitment to the event.  After that, the club is committed to field a team at the minimum team entry cost of (4) double occupancy member registration packages.     

Once directed to register during the Open Entry period Members participating on teams committed into the tournament field, Members’ club account will be billed within 14 business days of when their registration is submitted. 

If the National Tournament you’re registering for offers a payment by credit card option, the member’s card will be charged at the time their registration is submitted. Please note a 3% surcharge is added to the Member Entry Package rate to cover credit card processing charges. (Only include this verbiage for the Couples and Two Ball tournaments, NOT Champions Classic)  

A complete summary of Tournament Entry Terms and Conditions along with Player Waiver is provided above the online registration form. In order to successfully submit the player registration, a member must acknowledge that he/she has read the Terms and Conditions and agrees to them. 

THIS COMPLETE TOURNAMENT EXPERIENCE IS LIMITED TO 55 TEAMS.  SPOTS IN THE FIELD WILL BE CONFIRMED ON A FIRST-TO-SIGN-UP BASIS. 

Once capacity is reached a Wait List will be established to backfill any cancelations and/or fill additional places in the field on a space-available basis pending Kiawah Island Resort’ room and golf occupancy levels.  Host Professionals of additional teams wishing to participate in the event may join the waitlist by entering online until September 1, 2024.     

Cancellation & Refund Policy
