The Best Charity Golf Tournaments to Play in Colorado This Summer

Ask a golfer about the best round they played all year, and they rarely start with the score. They start with the day. The course was in great shape, the people they shared a cart with, the cause everyone showed up to support, the patio they were in no hurry to leave. That is what a charity tournament does that an ordinary tee time cannot. It turns a round into something you remember.

Colorado’s summer is full of those days right now, and there is still plenty of season left to play. So we pulled together the charity golf tournaments worth showing up for, the courses, the dates, and the causes behind each one. Whether you play to compete, to give back, or simply for more reasons to be outside, there is a round here with your name on it.

Why Charity Golf Hits Different

A charity tournament asks for the same swing as any other round, but the day adds up to more. Every entry fee, every team, every sponsor banner points at something bigger than the leaderboard. You play eighteen holes and a cause has a better year for it.

That is the quiet reason these events fill up. The golf is good, the format is usually relaxed, and the day comes with a purpose built in. You leave with a scorecard, a few new numbers in your phone, and the easy feeling of a morning well spent. None of that depends on shooting your best. It depends on showing up.

Featured Charity Golf Tournaments This Season

These are our featured golf tournaments for the season, in the order they tee off. They are a handful of the many charity golf tournaments happening across Colorado, so once you have circled these, the Event Hub has the rest near you.

Foundation 1023 Golf Classic May 14, 2026 | Raccoon Creek Golf Course, Littleton A four-person scramble with breakfast from 6:30 AM and a 7:30 AM shotgun, benefiting Foundation 1023 and the mental wellness services it has provided to first responders and their families since 2016. Confidential counseling, peer support training, and programs built for the whole household. The people who show up for everyone else get a day where someone shows up for them.

5th Annual Charity Shootout, presented by Envision Financial Partners July 23, 2026 | Highlands Ranch Golf Course, Highlands Ranch Now in its fifth year and managed by Colorado Under Par, the Shootout brings players and partners together for friendly competition that benefits multiple Colorado nonprofits at once. A fifth year is no accident. People keep coming back, which tells you how the day feels.

Go Golf Colorado Summer Scramble 2026 August 1, 2026 | The Meadows Golf Course, Littleton One of Colorado’s most welcoming scramble golf tournaments, with a 7:30 AM shotgun and a team format built for every level, so the pressure stays low and the fun stays high. If you have been looking for a relaxed first tournament with good company, this is the one to circle.

Larry Silver Memorial Golf Tournament August 10, 2026 | The Ranch Country Club, Westminster An 8:00 AM shotgun and a four-person scramble that has carried Larry’s name in Colorado golf for close to twenty years. 100% of proceeds go to families shouldering the cost of pediatric cancer, the bills that pile up when a child is in the fight of their life. A morning like this is memory put to work, and the field keeps growing because the cause never stops being close to home.

Colorado Classic August 24, 2026 | Arrowhead Golf Club, Littleton An 8:00 AM start among the red rock formations at Arrowhead, built around honoring the nation’s military heroes and their families. The setting alone is worth the drive, and the company is the kind that makes eighteen holes go quickly. Camaraderie is the point here as much as the golf.

4th Annual Unbridled Golf Classic August 27, 2026 | Red Hawk Ridge Golf Course, Castle Rock A full day on one of Castle Rock’s most enjoyable layouts, pairing great golf with a great cause on the same scorecard. Red Hawk Ridge rewards a smart round and a good attitude in equal measure, which makes it a fitting home for an event built around giving back.

7th Annual Guide Real Estate Golf Tournament August 27, 2026 | Green Valley Ranch, Denver Seven years in, this Denver staple has become a summer tradition. A morning shotgun, a field that knows each other by now, and a cause the whole room is proud to back. Returning tournaments like this are proof of a simple truth: when a day is worth it, golfers make it a habit.

Collegiate Peaks Open August 28, 2026 | Collegiate Peaks Golf Course, Buena Vista Three days of two-person team golf under the Sawatch Range, opening with a scramble, moving to best ball, and running team Stableford across the weekend. There is an optional Friday evening Horserace and a Sunday awards celebration to close it out. High-country golf in Chaffee County, with trophies on the line and views that make a bogey easier to forgive.

RBA of Colorado 4th Annual Charity Golf Tournament, Swing Fore a Cause September 14, 2026 | The Pinery Country Club, Parker Check-in at 7:30 AM, a 9:00 AM shotgun, and a four-person scramble followed by lunch and awards. Contests, raffles, a silent auction, and a $10,000 hole-in-one challenge keep the day moving. All proceeds support Houses for Warriors and its work turning houses into homes for veterans.

2026 CMN Play Yellow Denver September 18, 2026 | Arrowhead Golf Club, Littleton A 2:00 PM shotgun and a four-person scramble that finishes with dinner and awards, hosted by Vincent Fry, a Children’s Miracle Network miracle child who had brain surgery at five years old. Proceeds are split evenly between Children’s Hospital Colorado and Duke Children’s Hospital. An afternoon start at Arrowhead is one of the better ways to spend a Friday in September.

The Coburn Community Classic September 22, 2026 | Indian Peaks Golf Course, Lafayette An inaugural Boulder County scramble with breakfast from 7:30 AM, a chip-in challenge at 8:15, and a 9:00 AM shotgun, wrapping with lunch and awards. Every dollar goes to Community Food Share, the regional food bank serving Boulder and Broomfield counties. The field is capped at 125 golfers, so this is one to sign up for early.

Dr. Jaime Yrastorza Legacy Golf Tournament September 26, 2026 | Applewood Golf Course, Golden Registration and silent auction bidding open at 12:30 PM, with a 1:00 PM shotgun scramble and dinner, awards, and raffle to follow. The day honors Dr. Yrastorza’s legacy and funds Uplift Internationale’s Operation Taghoy, which provides surgical care for children born with cleft lip and palate in underserved communities. Golf that sends a surgeon somewhere a family cannot reach on their own.

5th Annual EvenKehl Charity Golf Tournament September 28, 2026 | The Ranch Country Club, Westminster A 9:00 AM shotgun and a four-person scramble where 100% of proceeds support local law enforcement officers and their families in crisis. Founded in memory of Jefferson County Sheriff’s Deputy Mike Kehl, EvenKehl shows up when an officer is hurt, ill, or carrying the weight of the badge, and this round helps them keep doing it.

BCHS Girls BB Golf Tournament September 28, 2026 | Hiwan Golf Club, Evergreen A 1:30 PM shotgun scramble up at Hiwan, with the driving range open beforehand and dinner, awards, and raffle drawings once the last group is in. The day raises money for the Bear Creek High School girls basketball teams, and hole contests keep the middle of the round interesting with prizes for the top three teams. An afternoon in Evergreen is a good way to spend the back end of September.

5th Annual Scramble for Syngap Golf Tournament October 3, 2026 | Greer Golf Course, Greer, South Carolina One for the road trip list. Managed by Colorado Under Par, this four-person scramble opens check-in at 7:00 AM with an 8:30 shotgun, then lunch, awards, and a raffle. Proceeds fund CURE SYNGAP1 and its push for research, awareness, and family support around SYNGAP1-related disorders, an ultra rare neurological condition where a diagnosis often arrives late and options are few.

Gold Ribbon Golf Tournament October 19, 2026 | Pelican Lakes Golf Course, Windsor A 9:00 AM shotgun at one of northern Colorado’s prettiest layouts, with breakfast on from 7:30 and a silent auction running all day. The gold ribbon says it plainly: every dollar supports the Tough2gether Foundation and the Colorado kids and families walking through childhood cancer. A best-ball format keeps the golf friendly and the focus where it belongs, and Windsor in October is a fine place to close out the season.

OCD Gamechangers Golf Tournament & Fundraiser October 19, 2026 | Cheyenne Shadows Golf Club, Fort Carson An 8:00 AM shotgun sends four-person teams out under Cheyenne Mountain and Pikes Peak, and the day closes with barbeque, drinks, and lived experience stories from the people OCD Gamechangers serves. The Colorado nonprofit has produced more than 25 events at home and abroad since its first Denver gathering in 2017, and proceeds here fund the next round of them. The field is small, so it fills fast.

These are this season’s featured golf tournaments, but they are far from the only ones. New charity golf tournaments land on the Event Hub all season, so that is where to find every round near you.

How to Find Charity Golf Tournaments Near You

The hardest part of playing charity golf is not golf. It is finding the events in the first place. Flyers get buried, group chats forget, and a great tournament three towns over never reaches you.

That is exactly what the Event Hub fixes. It puts Colorado’s charity golf tournaments in one place, sortable by date and searchable by cause, so you can find the golf tournaments near you in a couple of taps. Whether you want to play next weekend or map out the rest of your summer, it is the fastest way from “I should play more” to “I am on the tee sheet.”

Apply for Event Management

Event Management Application (2027)
CUP manages 10 sporting events per season, and that is the cap.
Applications for the 2027 season are reviewed starting October 1, 2026. Returning clients confirm their dates first, then remaining slots go to new clients. This is an application, not a booking, and it takes about 6 minutes.

Your organization

Who is hosting, and how we reach you.

Beneficiary

Only if the event raises money for a cause.

Your sporting event

The basics we need to judge fit.

Out-of-state note: our standard pricing covers events held in Colorado. Events outside Colorado are quoted individually with travel and on-site costs included.
Worth knowing before you submit: our fully-managed service starts at 100 people on site. Below that the economics do not work for either of us, so this is likely not a fit. You can still apply, and you can always list your sporting event on the CUP calendar instead.
This one gets a custom quote. Our standard service model covers single-day events with 100 to 160 people on site, including vendors. Larger fields and multi-day events still work, we just scope them and send a custom quote instead of a standard price.

What success looks like

So we can tell you straight whether we are the right team.

Budget and timing

Fully-managed service is a real line item. Straight answers save us both time.

A CUP engagement runs roughly 150 to 200 hours of planning, design, marketing and coordination, handled by one team from the first call to the final award. Applications need a real budget line for professional management, separate from venue, food and prizes.
Worth knowing before you submit: a fully-managed engagement sits above this range, so this is likely not a fit for 2027. You are welcome to apply anyway. If self-serve is the better move right now, you can list your sporting event and add promotion here: list your event.

Last bit

Then we will be in touch.
