Kind of a loaded question.

Each high school is probably a good bit different.

Also, what is your definition of tournament? 9 hole afternoon matches? Weekend 18 hole tournament? Weekend 54 hole tournament?

The kids I know playing high school usually play about one 9 hole match per week against local schools and then maybe two or three 18+ hole tournaments per month.

Usually 5 or 6 in the fall.

10 or so in spring would be my guess.

High school or college?

In Texas feels like we got something like 8 or 9 tournament days per year. We also played some Saturday events. If you made regionals or state those didn't count against you.

College feels like we played 4 or 5 events per semester. Most were 54 holes, day 1 36, day 2 18. This was 25 years ago though

4 or 5 in the fall and 6 or 7 in spring is pretty much the norm.

lol, my bad. I completely misread your post.

I played D1 golf and it was basically what others said. Fall was a shorter season around 4-5 tourneys. Spring was longer and had a ‘postseason’ so to speak.

On the girls side - my daughter flew 30,000+ mile in 2025 and played a very national level schedule as she got into so many of the high end events.

This year the plan was to cut back but it still was 15-18 tournaments when your figure in 5 AJGA (essential) and 3 USGA... And then find some Rolex ranked events

I can tell you anything you want avoid the recruiting stuff as I have one daughter( hopefully) almost through this stage...

But for D1 you want to get Rolex ranked and get WAGR eligible ASAP

D1 would be college. There are no D1 high schools.

Looked at the schedule for the Georgia men’s team. Five fall events and six in the spring including the conference tournament. So eight if they make a run to nationals.

NCAA allows teams to play a total of 24 competition days in the regular season. Some tournaments are two day events and some tournaments are three day events. Just depends how the school wants to structure the schedule.
