Tournaments

We take the game on the road.

Birmingham plays the circuit — club opens around the Deep South, regional championships, and the national tournaments. Wherever there's a lawn and a bracket, Birmingham shows up.

The Grand Cup

The marquee trip comes every spring: the Grand Cup, played at The Lakewood Club in Point Clear, down near Fairhope on Mobile Bay, with players from across the country. It's the club's favorite weekend of the year, and the field feels more like a family reunion than a competition.

Our 2025 Grand Cup crew — Todd Russell, Charles Wimberly, John Somerset & Tom Howell.
