We are happy to present the 2025 Vesper Country Club tournament schedule. Our goal is always to provide a premiere tournament schedule for the membership, with event offerings for all members. With that in mind, you will notice some major changes to the 2025 schedule with the bunker renovation, most notably being the Vesper Cup and Ryder Cup moving from September and finding a new home in August.
It is important to note that, with just a few exceptions, event registrations open three weeks ahead of each event. Each tournament page in this booklet will provide you with the date and time of registration opening for each event. At the bottom of each tournament page in this booklet, we have provided a portal link to that event. These portals provide event information, as well as providing registrations that will automatically open.
We hope that you enjoy the 2025 season at Vesper Country Club and wish you the best of luck in all your upcoming events. If you have any questions, please reach out to me at Jdufresne@vespercc.com
