The Hickory Masters
A new and high-profile European event is taking place this year. Hosted by Paolo Quirici, The Hickory Masters is scheduled for May 13-14 at Circolo golf Villa d’Est by Como Lake in Italy. Entries will close on 12th of April.
Registration is closed for this event as the field is now complete.
The first Hickory Masters will enjoy the scenery of a prestigious and historical golf course that has maintained a design and layout which are the perfect test for any hickory player.
We are privileged to be hosted by Circolo Golf Villa d’Este near Lake Como for its 100th Anniversary, and to be able to share our passion with its members.
This is a rare opportunity to walk in the footsteps of great champions that have participated in past Italian Opens and Internationals.
Awards will honor the Overall Champion, as well as the best gross and net performances in both the Amateur and Senior Amateur categories— recognizing both skill and dedication to the legacy of Hickory Golf.
The Hickory Golf Masters unfolds over two consecutive days of 18-hole stroke play. The tournament features a limited and curated field, with tee times assigned to allow a smooth, immersive experience. Players compete in three main categories: Professionals, Amateurs, and Senior Amateurs. Each round is played with original hickory clubs and supported by caddies, adding rhythm and ceremony to the game. Final standings are determined by cumulative scores over the two days.
All participants must use authentic hickory-shafted clubs manufactured prior to 1935; modern replicas are not permitted. Period attire from the early 1930s is mandatory throughout the competition. The event is stroke play format, played from the original tees when available, with a maximum course length of 6,200 yards. Caddies are required for all players. The pace of play and etiquette will follow traditional standards of sportsmanship, in line with the spirit of historic golf.
