Tuesday Two-Person League
LEAGUE SCHEDULE
May 7th – August 13th | 5:30pm shotgun starts (15 Weeks of Play)
LEAGUE FEES
$377+ tax per player
-
League fees include 15 weeks of nine holes with car, weekly events, and year-end payout, as well as the league banquet on August 13th. All prizes paid out in golf shop credit.
-
NOTE: Kestrel Ridge walking members are required to pay for the golf car fees as well as the prize fund portion. Riding members are only required to pay for the prize fund portion.
Eligibility and Handicaps
Each member of your team should average a nine-hole score of 52 or less – or be able to complete nine holes of golf, in a foursome, in under 2 hours and 15 minutes. Handicaps will be established after week 2 and will be used ‘retroactively’ for the rounds that did not have a handicap established. A WSGA/USGA handicap is NOT required.
90% of individual handicaps will be used each week in determining weekly handicaps.
The largest number of handicap strokes we will award any player is 18 for nine holes, regardless of handicap calculations.
LEAGUE FORMAT:
Each league night begins with a shotgun start at 5:30 pm. Men play from the white tees and ladies play from the green. The format for weeks 1 through 12 will be net better ball match play versus another team in your division. Week 13-15 will be playoffs, with the year-end banquet on August 13th.
The top four teams from each division in the season points standing will earn a spot to play for the league championship. These eight teams will participate in a best-ball match play format in weeks 13, 14 & 15. Substitutes are not allowed to play in weeks 13-15. Teams not qualifying for the playoffs will still play in a scramble format these weeks.
NO SHOWS
If a team member is unable to show for a week’s scheduled match, the remaining player has two options:
- Find a player with an average nine-hole score of less than 52. This player must be reported to the Head Golf Professional or golf professional on duty prior to 11 a.m. of the scheduled league day. If that player has a USGA Handicap (no other handicaps are allowable; including internet-based), it will be multiplied by .9 and then cut in half for nine-hole league use. If the player does not have a handicap, he/she will play at scratch. No exceptions.
- Go without a partner and play your own ball for the nine holes.
It is your responsibility to make arrangements and have two players each week. Teams that do not show up will be awarded zero points for that night and 1 point will be subtracted from their season total.
If a team drops out of the league after the league season has started, all teams will receive an automatic 6 points for that match regardless of whether they have already played that team or not.
We will attempt to alternate between play on the front and back nine, but please understand that this is not always possible.

2024 Ladies League
LEAGUE INFORMATION
Ladies League will begin on Wednesday, May 8th and will conclude on August 21st. The league will run for 15 weeks. Tee times will begin at 4:30 pm and run until 5:33 pm. You will have the same set tee time each week you play. The only exception will be the last night of August 21st. We will be doing a 5:00 shotgun start (everyone will start at 5:00) with dinner to follow play. Teams need to consist of 4 players. Sign up as a foursome or if we have twosome or single spots available, we can help pair you up with other ladies. When registering online please request the time frame you would like to play and provide the names of the other ladies you will be playing with in the notes section. We will get your group as close to that time as possible. League play will alternate between the front and back 9’s.
REGISTRATION
Registration fee is $377 plus tax and includes 9-hole green fees, cart, weekly prize fund and end of season banquet.
SUBS
If you are unable to attend any given week, please try to find a substitute. Substitute players will be eligible to play in the games using an established WSGA handicap or established Kestrel Ridge average. If they do not have a WSGA handicap or a Kestrel Ridge scoring average they will not qualify for any net winnings until an average is established. Please let us know if you will be having a regular person/people as a sub. We will record their scores so they can establish an average.
GAMES
There will be a variety of fun individual and team events each week. The first 2 weeks of league we will be playing individual games to establish a Kestrel Ridge scoring average. We will begin using these averages in week 3 and throughout the summer. Averages will fluctuate during the season based on players’ scores. (This is not an official WSGA handicap, if you are interested in one, they may be purchased for a $35 fee). When playing games that require an individual’s hole-by-hole or net score all putts will need to be holed out and no redos or mulligans please.
GOLF SHOP CREDIT
All winnings from weekly games or hole contests are paid out in golf shop credit.
