The Spring Break Open tournament scheduled for March 4/5 in Panama City Beach has been cancelled. Sorry for any inconvenience.
The format of the Spring Break Open tournament is 2-man best-ball. The tournament is 36-holes (over two days), and the pair with the lowest best-ball score at the end of the tournament will be deemed the champion!
There is no minimum or maximum for number of people you can bring. The format is 2-person best-ball, so if you have an odd number we will pair you with another player.
If you are NOT booking lodging through us, your group is absolutely able to pay separately. Simply follow the registration process and make payment! If you want to be paired on the golf course with a certain player (format is 2-person best-ball), please email springbreak@nextgengolf.org with the request.
If you ARE booking lodging through us in addition to your tournament fee, we will require one group payment. We recommend designating one person to make the payment, and the other group members writing that person a check, use Venmo, etc.

The Nextgengolf Spring Break Package was designed with the price sensitive college golfer in mind. Our goal was to put together a complete spring break package for golf teams at a location which could offer great golf courses, excellent practice facilities, good food, nearby lodging as well as entertainment outside of golf. Our goal is to keep everything really simple and provide a great experience and pre-season open event for college golfers.
Yes, teams will often bring recent alumni and friends of the team to play in the event.
Yes, if you are looking to play other courses outside of the tournament, let us know and we will do our best to get you discounted rates on those courses.
