Plan your trip to the Barracuda Championship 2025 and discover all your ticket options, event highlights, and what makes the Old Greenwood Golf Course at Tahoe Mountain Club so special.
Returning to Truckee, California from July 14 to 20, the Barracuda Championship brings its signature relaxed Tahoe vibe to the PGA TOUR and DP World Tour schedules. Played at Old Greenwood — a stunning Jack Nicklaus Signature design set in the Sierra Nevada Mountains — this event offers crisp mountain air, epic views, and a course that truly tests the field.
What makes it stand out? The Modified Stableford format. Instead of counting every stroke, players earn points for birdies and eagles and lose points for bogeys, rewarding aggressive play. This format guarantees exciting leaderboard swings and risk-reward shots that keep spectators glued to the action.
Expect a strong line-up of 156 players from both tours. With a $4 million purse, 300 FedExCup points, and over 4,000 DP World Tour points, there is plenty at stake. Last year’s youngest-ever champion, Nick Dunlap, is set to defend his title, hoping to go back-to-back on one of the most scenic courses on tour.
Daily Grounds Tickets and Family Friendly Access
A single-day grounds pass is your best option for flexibility. The ticket lets you explore the course, pick your favourite holes, and follow players as you wish.
Families appreciate the relaxed atmosphere:
Kids fifteen and under get in free when accompanied by a ticketed adult (up to four kids per adult).
Active-duty military and first responders receive complimentary admission in recognition of their service.
Tickets must be purchased in advance — none are sold on site.
Premium Hospitality and Group Packages
Want an upgrade? The Barracuda Championship offers a range of hospitality passes for fans who want an elevated experience. These tickets include access to shaded viewing areas, delicious food and drinks, and a reserved place to soak up the golf.
For larger groups or company outings, group hospitality packages run about $200 per person and combine comfortable seating with great views and networking potential.
More Than Just Golf
A big part of this event is giving back to the Tahoe community. Since its start, the Barracuda Championship has raised over $6 million for local charities and nonprofits. Families can also enjoy youth-focused activities, from junior clinics run by the First Tee to special programming from the Annika Foundation designed to get more kids excited about the game.
Why Old Greenwood Stands Out
Sitting at nearly 6,000 feet, the Old Greenwood Golf Course offers cooler temperatures during the summer heat and breathtaking views of the surrounding Sierra Nevada. It’s known for tree-lined fairways, challenging bunkers, and elevation changes that make every shot interesting.
Spectators love how walkable the course is, with plenty of viewing angles and open spaces that let you find your perfect spot.
Smart Tips for a Memorable Day
Buy tickets in advance — no gate sales means planning ahead is essential.
Dress in layers and pack sunscreen; the mountain weather is famously unpredictable.
Wear comfortable shoes for hilly terrain.
Check the daily pairings sheet so you don’t miss your favourite players.
Take advantage of fan zones and family-friendly areas to keep kids entertained.
The Barracuda Championship 2025 is the perfect excuse for a summer getaway — combining thrilling golf, a friendly Tahoe vibe, and the beauty of California’s mountains into one unforgettable week.
