About the Senior Program
Oakhurst CC participates in the Bay Area Senior Golf Association (BASA) golf program which includes most of the country clubs in the greater East Bay. BASA member clubs schedule home and away events throughout the spring/summer. The matches are more a social event than competition. A typical day includes breakfast, golf, and lunch with a few awards for winning teams and closest to hole contests. The golf tournament consists of mixed foursomes (members from each participating club) playing a "Two Best Balls of Four" format.
A member can participate in some or all the events, so don’t feel as though you must play each event. We do, however, expect any participant to play in at least 1 home event for every 2 away events. As the season progresses, you may be restricted from playing away events if you have not participated in home dates. To join, you MUST be an active member of Oakhurst, be 50+ years old, and have an established USGA handicap.
Oakhurst Seniors also hosts the Senior Invitational, a 2-day member-guest tournament in May.
Senior Membership
To sign up for the 2025 Senior program, please email Don Ames at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Even if you were an active Senior last year, we need to confirm your name, GHIN, email address, and cell phone number before you can participate in this year’s program.
Each Senior participant will be charged a one-time fee of $50. This amount will likely show on your Oakhurst billing statement for the month of March, which will arrive on or about April 1. These funds will be used for event prizes such as scrip/wine/balls and subsidizing the cost of food and beverage for home events.
Event Signups
In advance of scheduled events, all Senior members will receive an email announcing the date and time that event registration will be available on Foretees. Typically, we set up signups for 3-5 events that are scheduled for the coming month. To register for events:
- If you use the Foretees app on your smart phone or tablet, open the app, click on Foretees at the bottom of the screen. Then select the Golf image/link, followed by Tournament Registration. Find the event you want to register for and click on it.
- If you use a computer to access Foretees, access the Oakhurstcc.com website, sign in as a member, click on member tee times, then select your name. This will bring you to the page with a calendar to sign up for tee times. At the top of the page there is a menu spanning across the top. Select “Events”, which will show a list of all events scheduled, including the Senior golf outings that have been released for signup.
Note that most away events have strict participation limits. To provide all senior members the opportunity to play in popular away events, we will apply specific guidelines when registration opens on ForeTees. These will be outlined in the email announcing the coming events.
For some of our more popular venues, or when there are multiple events in rapid succession, we may ask seniors to sign up for just 1 event in the first 24 hours that registration is open to allow all players a chance to sign up. After 24 hours, registration is open for all.
For all events, if you miss out on the allotted spots, Foretees allows you to add your name to the waitlist. We urge all Members to elect this option, because host clubs may allow us additional spots beyond the initial allotment, enabling members on the waitlist will be included.
Senior Golfer of the Year
Throughout the season, participants are awarded points for participation in home events, team results, closest to the pin, low net and low gross individual results. These points accumulate throughout the season and the leading sixteen (16) point earners at the end of the year qualify for an 18-hole SGOTY championship outing. At the end of our season we crown two champions, the season-long point leader and the year-end tournament winner. Their names will be engraved on the plaque mounted on the wall in the bar area.
