PDGA posts USADGC schedule, updates for Kensington Metropark weekend

The PDGA’s 2026 USADGC updates page is doing more than listing times. It is the tournament’s operating map, and for a Toboggan weekend that can turn fast in the wind or rain, that matters as much as any leaderboard.

The event runs June 5-7 in Milford, Michigan, with Thursday, June 4 set aside as official practice day at Toboggan DGC. Player check-in and pack pickup ran from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Kensington Mills Falls, followed by a mandatory player meeting at 6 p.m. and player dinner at 7 p.m. at the same venue. Friday, Saturday and Sunday all move into tee times at Toboggan, which is exactly the kind of structure players want on a course that rewards precision and punishes loose starts.

That schedule gives the field a clear competitive rhythm, but the off-course pieces may matter just as much. Friday’s mini golf tournament at 6 p.m. at Kensington Mills Falls and Saturday’s pizza party and ace competition at 6 p.m. near the Toboggan pavilion add the kind of event-week energy that keeps the championship from feeling like a pure grind. For spectators, it means the weekend has more than scorecards and shot shaping. It has a destination flow between competition windows.

The PDGA says the updates page is also where weather delays and other important event information will be posted, which is a major detail at Toboggan. The course stretches 10,210 feet and plays as a par 63, with seasonal use and championship-level difficulty built into every hole. That scale is why the site has become so closely linked to the USADGC: the track was created in 2000 for Pro Worlds and became the home course for the championship in 2002.

This is the 24th time the USADGC has been held at Kensington Metropark, and 148 top amateur players are entered for the 2026 edition. The history around the event still carries weight too. Scott Burnett won the first USADGC title in 2002, David Wiggins Jr.’s 10-stroke win in 2010 remains the largest margin in event history, and the last two champions, Ryan Monn in 2024 and James Collier in 2025, show how often this event identifies the next wave of talent.

When the cards finish, post-event final-round coverage will be available on Gatekeeper Media’s YouTube. By then, the course will have done what it always does at Kensington: separate the players who can survive Toboggan from the ones who only looked ready on paper.
