An Exceptional Experience
The Jones Cup was born from a deep commitment to amateur golf by the A.W. Jones family, who, with Howard Coffin, founded The Cloister and Sea Island Golf Club in 1928. What began as simply the Jones Cup Invitational at Ocean Forest Golf Club in 2001, the Jones Cup family now includes a Junior and Senior Invitational, both held at the Sea Island Golf Club. Each tournament is known for drawing some of the nation’s best players to the world-class setting of Sea Island.
Jones Cup Invitational

First contested in 2001 at Ocean Forest Golf Club, the Jones Cup Invitational brings together many of the finest amateurs from the United States and abroad. While the golf course proves to be a great venue for this unique event, the Jones Cup’s success and popularity can be attributed to the strength of the players who comprise its field.
