TEMECULA — Speedgolf Temecula, one of the largest Speedgolf clubs in the world, is set to host the 9th United States Speedgolf Open at Temecula Creek Golf Club on Oct. 11-12, 2025. This prestigious event will bring together elite athletes from across the globe, including 10 of the top 20 players in the world, for a weekend of high-speed competition.
Jonathan Flietstra, founder of Speedgolf Temecula, has been instrumental in growing the sport locally. “For two years, we’ve been building one of the biggest Speedgolf communities right here in Temecula,” Flietstra said. “Hosting the U.S. Open is a huge honor, and we’re excited to welcome players from places like New Zealand, Australia, London, Ireland, and possibly even Japan.”
What Is Speedgolf?
Speedgolf flips traditional golf on its head by combining total golf score with the time it takes to complete the round. Players sprint between shots, blending athleticism and strategy in a way that challenges both body and mind. The result is a fast-paced, adrenaline-filled experience that’s as fun to watch as it is to play.
For those new to the sport, Flietstra recommends checking out the Speedgolf Temecula Instagram page (SpeedGolfTemecula), where an introductory video and a brief overview of the game are pinned to the profile. The club also hosts regular rounds every Wednesday and Sunday morning, offering locals a chance to experience the excitement firsthand.
A Global Championship in Temecula
The U.S. Speedgolf Open is the sport’s premier national championship, organized by Speedgolf USA. Past champions include some of the biggest names in the sport, such as Rob Hogan, Jin Ota, and Lauren Cupp. This year’s event will feature multiple divisions, including 9-hole, 18-hole, and 36-hole formats, with categories for juniors, adults, seniors, and teams.
The Temecula Creek Golf Club, known for its championship-caliber layout and stunning views, will serve as the perfect venue for the two-day event. Competitors will navigate the course at breakneck speed, balancing precision and endurance as they vie for the title of U.S. National Champion.
What’s at Stake
The Men’s Open Division will crown the 2025 National Champion, with a $5,000 cash purse awarded to top performers. Awards will also be given to winners and top finishers in all divisions, including juniors, seniors, and women. Participants will receive ASICS running shoes, tournament shirts, and Liquid IV hydration packs, thanks to the event’s sponsors.
In addition to the competition, the weekend will include practice rounds on Friday, Oct. 10, followed by a group dinner. The tournament itself will kick off Saturday morning and conclude Sunday with the crowning of the champions.
Building Momentum in the Community
Flietstra and his team are working to build excitement for the event in the weeks leading up to October. “We want the community to feel connected to this event,” he said. “It’s not just about the competition—it’s about growing the sport and bringing people together.”
