The goal of the tournament is to offer a competitive environment to golfers of different skill levels locally and internationally, to enjoy a fun-filled program and to promote golf in the region. It is also aimed at introduce Azerbaijan as a competitive golf tourism destination to the players.

The primary prize of the tournament is a BMW X1.

Moreover, AGF will hold a Challenge Tour golf tournament dedicated to National leader Heydar Aliyev in Guba on July 30 - August 3. The event will bring together 72 amateurs from around the world, and will be broadcasted by European TV channels. The prize of the tournament is €300,000.

AGF was founded not so long ago in 2012. The federation has had some successes in such a short time, as the Guba National Golf Club and the Golf Academy in Baku have been created .
