Beacon Rock Golf Course Men's Club, an Oregon Golf Association club, strives to:
- Stimulate interest in golf by bringing together a group of golfers desirous of forming a golfing organization
- Promote and foster among the members a closer bond a fraternity for their joint and mutual benefit, and to promote and conserve the best interests and true spirit of the game of golf as embodied in its ancient and honorable traditions.
- Encourage conformance to the USGA Rules of Golf by creating a representative authority.
- Maintain a uniform system of handicapping as set forth in the USGA Handicap System and issue USGA Handicap Indexes to the members.
- Provide an authoritative body to govern and conduct club competitions.
Membership in the BRGC Men's Club costs $35 per year, $40 for new members, and entitles members to:
- USGA Handicap Index
- Eligibility to participate in weekly games and major championships
- Discounts at the OGA Members' Course in Tukwila, OR
- Subscription to Pacific Northwest Golfer Magazine
Each Sunday at 8 am during the handicap season, the first weekend in March through mid-November, the BRGC Men's Club conducts its weekly game. Entry fee is $5 ($3 into the prize fund, $1 for closest-to-the-pin contests and $1 into the BRGC Scholarship Fund) with an optional $1 entry into the Hole-in-One Fund.
Game formats alternate between individual and team competitions, but always allow the player to post a score for handicap purposes. One-third of the field and ties, plus closest-to-the-pin winners - one per hole - win prize money in the form of BRGC Gift Cards.
Hole-in-One Fund money is paid out to a member who makes an ace during a club event, less $50 for a trophy. If no one makes an ace during the season, the fund is rolled over into the Scholarship Fund.
