With championship registration opening tomorrow for all Alberta Golf events, players—both new and returning—may have questions ahead of the big day. Common inquiries include what is required to register, which events are available to enter, and for younger competitors, which championships are most appropriate for their development. This guide is designed to provide clarity on each of these points.
What Do I Need For Registration
All Alberta Golf championships and qualifiers require participants to hold an active Golf Canada membership. It is important to ensure that your membership is current and not expired; if it is, please contact your home facility to have it renewed prior to registration.
Most events also require a valid Handicap Index. To establish a Handicap Index, players must have a minimum of 54 holes of submitted scores, which can be a combination of 9- and 18-hole rounds.
In addition, a valid credit card is required to complete registration, as the Golf Genius platform does not accept debit cards for payment.

What Events Can I Play In
With 14 championships and 14 qualifiers, each with varying Handicap Index and age requirements, determining eligibility can be a complex process. To assist players, Alberta Golf has developed a series of eligibility charts tailored to male, female, and junior competitors. These resources are designed to simplify the process and help identify the events that best match your profile.
