BARNESVILLE — The weather outside might be a little cold and snowy to play golf.
That hasn’t stopped Schuylkill County’s golf enthusiasts from making plans for when the weather turns warmer and it’s time get out the sticks and hit the links.
The Schuylkill County Amateur Golf Committee recently announced the dates and locations for its major tournaments for 2025. The committee promotes seven tournaments throughout the spring, summer and fall, ranging in age from youth to senior citizen.
The biggest change for 2025 is the adjustment of dates for the county’s three major tournaments — medal play, match play and senior championships.
The medal-play tournament has been moved up to first in the rotation and will be held Saturday-Sunday, June 7-8, at White Birch Golf Course. In the past, the medal-play (or stroke-play) tournament has been held in August or on Labor Day weekend.
The Schuylkill County Amateur Match-Play Tournament will be held Saturday-Sunday, July 19-20, at Hidden Valley Golf Course, Friedensburg. The Senior Championships will also be at Hidden Valley, on Friday, Aug. 15, and Sunday, Aug. 17.
All three major tournaments are open to any current or past Schuylkill County resident or any paid member of a county course.
