Scoring

You earn points on where you finish each week. The Points Race is this league's season standing — not the cumulative total on the leaderboard. Local play does not feed a national season total.

WHEN EACH ROUND IS PLAYED

Rounds 1–4 are all open from Sept 7 through Oct 4 — play them in order, on your own schedule. Join late? You can still catch up on all four before Oct 4. Rounds 5 and 6 are both open Oct 5 through Oct 19 — play 5 before 6. Registration closes Oct 3.

YOUR TEE

Men play blue. Women play red. Age 60 or older, play white. Juniors play green. Pick the one that fits you and stay on it all six rounds — your host will confirm it at the bay.

MULLIGANS

Three mulligans in rounds 1 through 4. Rounds 5 and 6 are played straight — no mulligans. By then you'll know not to touch the ball while it's on the screen mid-shot.

HOW IT GETS HARDER

Conditions build from round to round and peak at round four — firmer greens, tucked pins, more wind. Rounds 5 and 6 settle back to medium so the finish is about golf, not survival. Every round's exact setup is listed above.

ENTRY

Members play at no charge. Non-members are $250 for all six rounds — and that $250 comes off an annual membership if you join during the league.

SCORING

Individual stroke play — you play your own card, no partner needed. Straight gross scoring: your lowest total across the six rounds wins. No handicap adjustment and no math to check — the number on your card is the number that counts.

QUESTIONS

Ask your host at Back Nine Lake Havasu City, or email a Back Nine team member.

Rough hole or tech trouble? You can stop — but finish the hole out. An unfinished hole records no score, and there's no redo.
