Once my membership is confirmed, how do I log into my BlueGolf member account?
The 2024 Member Login is located at the top of our website in the right hand corner. You will use your ID/Password to log into your own member account here. You will log into your member account to register for events. This is the easiest way to register for multiple events at once.
If I need to cancel my Players Tour Membership will I receive a refund?
Juniors who wish to cancel out of the Players Tour program must do so seven (7) days prior to the start of season. The first ‘Sota Series event starts on Monday, June 10 so a junior will need to cancel their Players Tour Membership by Monday, June 3 to receive a partial refund. A $25.00 processing fee will be deducted from ALL membership refunds.
Why are the Players Tour events 36-Holes?
For our events to provide better value to you, we offer 36-hole events. To supply your score to the AJGA Performance Stars and the Junior Golf Scoreboard, our events must be 36-holes and played to a certain yardage. These scores are looked at by collegiate coaches for recruiting purposes as well as elite playing programs. We will be offering some 18-hole Players Tour events but those will not be ranked by the Junior Golf Scoreboard or earn AJGA Performance Stars since they are only 18-hole events.
