NUCLEO Circuit 2027 brings executives and operators together across six regional markets in Southern California, for rounds built around real play and real conversation — not spectacle.
Each regional stop carries its own character. Together, they build toward one season-long narrative: the Road to Cabo.
Format
Two-player teams. Best Ball / Better Ball Match Play — each player plays their own ball, and the team’s better result on each hole is what counts against the other team.
Handicaps are verified in advance through GHIN and SDGA.
Players are grouped into competitive flights by handicap level — 16 two-player teams per flight, 32 players in total. Every flight is built to be genuinely competitive, not an open field.
Every player is guaranteed a minimum of three rounds of competition. Tournament play runs Tuesday through Friday, with the Championship Dinner on Friday. Tee times run in two waves depending on flight — 7:00 AM and 12:30 PM.
On-course contests include Hole-in-One and Closest to the Pin on par-3 holes.
The Desert Stop — Greater Palm Springs / Indian Wells
The Coastal Stop — OC Coastal
The Valley Stop — San Gabriel Valley
The Harbor Stop — Greater San Diego
The Foothills Stop — OC Inland
The Ranch Stop — Northern San Diego
Dates and Venues — Coming Soon.
The Road to Cabo
Every regional stop builds toward one destination. The winner of each regional stop earns the right to represent their region at the Championship Final in Cabo San Lucas.
A season with a beginning, an arc, and an ending worth arriving at.
