Pro Am Golf Tournament

The Ellis Pro-Am Golf Tournament returns to the beautiful Mohawk Golf Club in Schenectady and offers professional play for every foursome. Your foursome will be matched for 18 holes of golf with a PGA professional if you are playing in the afternoon flight.

The event also offers a Morning Flight option for golfers, with foursomes not accompanied by a PGA professional.

The Pro-Am Golf Tournament carries on the Ellis tradition of great golf for a great cause. Proceeds support Ellis Medicine’s lifesaving programs, helping us provide advanced care, upgrade equipment, and improve health outcomes for our entire community.
