South Dakota Amateur Championship
About
The South Dakota Golf Association (SDGA) Amateur Championship is a 54-hole individual stroke play tournament held annually, with the 2025 event scheduled for August 1-3 at Brookings Country Club in Brookings, South Dakota. The championship draws top amateur golfers from the state competing for the title with a cut after 36 holes to the low scorers who continue to the final round. The 2025 men's champion will earn an exemption into the 2025 U.S. Amateur Championship at The Olympic Club in San Francisco. Additionally, the low two finishers (plus ties) receive an exemption into Final Qualifying for the 2026 U.S. Amateur. Entry fees vary, with an early entry discount available before the deadline of July 2.
