The U.S. Open year after year is competed on the top tier courses in the area.

Purposely competed on links-style courses, the major will take the golfer to another time and place, where wispy grass, rolling hills, and sandy dunes await.

As with many a great ideas, the Richmond Amateur Golfers Association evolved from a long history of good times and great friendships. It is our goal to enhance the game of golf through friendly competition in a relaxed, stress-free environment. It is the hope of the RAGA tour to expand membership to friends in the Richmond area. Possible growth could include the facilitating of similar group organizations or social leagues.
