Tournament Rules

As part of the American Mini Golf Alliance, The Lighthouse Classic is scored as a WHITE tournament, for which any AMA member can receive a maximum of 20 points. To understand the AMA points system, see this document.

Beyond the points system, The Lighthouse Classic has extensive pre-tournament guidelines and competition rules. Make sure to read them prior to game day. Any questions will be addressed during the rules briefing prior to the first round.

Tournament Day practice is from 9 to 9:45 a.m. and the first round begins at 10 a.m. Read all guidelines and rules here.

Helpful Hints

We strive to make The Lighthouse Classic a fun experience for everyone (it's mini golf, after all), and that means even a first-time player should walk onto the course with some idea on how to play it. We want everybody to have a shot at being No. 1!

With that in mind, O-Street Mini Golfers Aaron Kaminski and Joey DiPrima have competed against Biggy several times at Flamingo Golf. We will post links to them soon, but they are on YouTube in case any ambitious individual wants to search for them sooner.
