Colorado Amateur Championship

The Colorado Amateur Championship is the flagship men’s state amateur event in Colorado, conducted annually by the CGA. The format is 54 holes of stroke play (three rounds), with a cut typically made after the first two rounds to determine the final-round field. Entry is open to amateur golfers who are members of a CGA-affiliated club, maintain a valid Handicap Index, and meet the CGA’s eligibility (for example, for open-age championships the handicap index must be 5.0 or below at the time of registration). To qualify, players may receive exemptions (past champions, high finishers, etc.) and/or enter via sectional qualifying depending on the year’s policies.
