Arkansas Chapter

The Arkansas PGA Chapter, South Central Section, PGA of America is made up of golf professionals from Arkansas and is a part of the South Central PGA Section that encompasses Arkansas, Oklahoma and southern Kansas.

The mission of the Arkansas PGA is to promote the enjoyment and involvement in the game of golf in Arkansas and contribute to its growth by teaching, playing and running successful golf development programs.

Arkansas is now part of the South Central Section Junior Tour. Your Registration fee is $80. All tournaments will require an entry fee. All players registered are eligible to play in any 1 day event. This provides greater access to tournament play and more competition for all divisions. Each event will be run through the Section concerning registration, eligibility and Tee Assignments. The PGA host professional will run the on site event concerning scoring and rulings.

Spectator cart availability varies according to the facility. Please review the player rules and responsibilities. Parents are not to interact with the players unless it is to hydrate, provide nutrition or point out logistic directions (such as, bathroom locations, hole direction or ball location).
