​

For 26 years, the Greater Blacksburg Open (GBO) was a fixture at Blacksburg Country Club. In January 2001, a new tradition began as the first Allegheny Amateur was held in Blacksburg, Virginia.  It was a great event for almost 20 years, but 2021 started a new level of amateur competition and the Allegheny Amateur has become a Four-Ball tournament.  

​

Blacksburg Country Club is excited to host this newly formatted event attracting the best players from the State of Virginia in a quality amateur golf competition. Below you will find key information about the tournament.
