The Inter-Agency Games golf tournament brings together colleagues from across the United Nations system for two days of friendly but competitive play. Combining precision, strategy, and sportsmanship, golf has long been a valued discipline of the Games and offers a unique opportunity to compete while enjoying the natural beauty of the host course.
As with all Inter-Agency Games disciplines, the competition is conducted at the amateur level, reflecting the Games’ core objective: promoting health, camaraderie, and cooperation among staff of the UN common system.
The tournament is played over two rounds, typically held across two days. Players compete individually while also contributing to their organization’s overall standing in the Games.
Depending on the number of participants and course conditions, the competition is usually organized in a stableford or stroke-play format, with final rankings determined by the combined scores across both rounds.
Green fees and course access are included in the dedicated golf participation package offered for the Games.
The competition is conducted under the Rules of Golf of The R&A, the internationally recognized authority governing the sport. These rules ensure fairness, consistency, and respect for the traditions of the game.
Participants are expected to uphold the core principles of golf:
Golf relies heavily on player integrity, making sportsmanship and honesty essential elements of the competition.
In addition to the formal rules, players are asked to observe standard golf etiquette:
As with all IAG disciplines, the tournament is supervised by a discipline coordinator responsible for ensuring the competition is conducted smoothly and in accordance with the approved rules and schedule.
Beyond the competition itself, the golf event offers a relaxed environment where colleagues from across agencies can meet, network, and share a memorable sporting experience.
Whether aiming for the podium or simply enjoying a round among friends, the golf tournament embodies the spirit of the Inter-Agency Games: competition, friendship, and community across the United Nations system.
