ABOUT THE
Baltusrol Invitational
Founded in 1975, The Baltusrol Invitational is a Mid-
Amateur invitational team tournament played at New Jersey's Baltusrol Golf Club
over two days in
August. The two-day tournament starts with 36 holes of golf, (1) round of better
ball and (1) round of foursomes, on the Lower Course. The second day format is aggregate
medal play on the Upper Course, allowing for a 72-hole score for each team.
Both courses have been painstakingly restored by golf architect Gil Hanse -- the Lower opened for play in 2021 and the Upper in 2025. Most players in the field will enjoy staying in the historic clubhouse, with those finishing highest being given the first opportunity to take advantage of clubhouse accommodations the following year, should they return to play.
