2026 Mixed Team Series

One of the NCGA’s most popular formats is back.

In 2026, the NCGA Mixed Team Series will consist of 10 one-day mixed team (one female and one male player) tournaments held at some of the finest courses across Northern California.

Events are typically held on a Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday with a variety of formats: Four-Ball Net, Four-Ball Stableford or Chapman.

To help ensure fairness, tournaments are flighted by combined team Handicap Index to ensure golfers of all abilities will be able to enjoy the competition and have the opportunity to win prizes.

There too is a points system where teams can aim to be Team of the Year.

The top 56 teams on the regular season-ending points list will receive an invitation to the Series Championship, set for Nov. 4-5 at Poppy Hills. Only teams playing in the Mixed Team Series one-day events are eligible to play in the championship. As a bonus, the top two teams on the points list after the final regular season event will receive free entry into the Championship.
