2025 LOTTERY SYSTEM

Registration for Member Days is done through an online lottery system. Interested participants are able to enter the lottery for one or multiple Member Days from the time the lotteries open (Tuesday, March 4th at 10:00 AM) until the lottery close date, which is different for each Member Day. The lottery close date for each Member Day is 6 weeks before the date of the event.

Starting with the 2025 season, Mass Golf will be utilizing a new online lottery system for Member Days.

In order to enter lotteries, you will need to create a Golf Genius Player Profile if you do not already have one.

Frequently Asked Questions

The number of spots you enter a lottery for includes yourself. For example, if you select 4 spots, that would entail yourself and three other players.
Entering a lottery DOES NOT guarantee you a spot in the event itself – participants will be determined via the random lottery process.
If you win the spot(s) you entered for in a lottery, and you wish to participate in the event, all players you register and pay for at that time must be Mass Golf Members.
Each lottery will close for entry and begin processing on its corresponding “Lottery Closes” date 6 weeks out from the event date itself. Keep in mind that each lottery may take up to a few weeks to complete processing.
Those who are not initially drawn in the lottery WILL NOT receive a notification. Those players are automatically put on the waitlist for that event, but can still receive a lottery winner notification later on, as each lottery may take up to a few weeks to complete processing. Keep on top of your emails!
Due to the overwhelming popularity of Member Days, Mass Golf modified the lottery system to provide opportunities for as many individual members as possible to play in at least one event this season. Preference in each individual lottery will be given to members who have not yet played in a Member Day this season (2025). As the season progresses, members who have not played in a Member Day so far will see their chances increase. If the field for an event is not filled by first-time 2025 players, invites will then be sent to past 2025 Member Day participants, in the order in which they were randomly selected in the lottery.
