The 17th annual KNCI Golf & Guitars Music Festival was officially packaged and we had a great time!
This year’s festival had more day, more music and more intimate than ever before. More than three incredible nights fans came together to give live country music, golf and back. This year, Golf & Guitars surpassed more than 2 million dollars for charities in the Sacramento area.
Night one: Wine & Guitars at Silt Winery

On Sunday 28 September the festival was opened with a stunning evening -filled evening in the Silt Winery in Clarksburg, Ca. While the sun went under the vineyards, the night started with Austin Najera, winner of the NSAI 2025 Chapter Challenge, who set the tone the night.
The night contained genuine performances of Mary Sarah, Megan Conner, Brian White and Lauren Mascitti, who tell powerful vocals and stories in an intimate vineyard environment. Guests also participated in a Wilson Long Drive competition and donated to the charity for the chance of depositing golf balls in the vineyard, a nice turn to the Gulf of the Golf-Mets-Music-Thema festival.
It was the perfect way to put three nights of music, memories and community the stage.
Night two: Singer-Songwriter Showcase




On Monday, September 29, we moved to Haggin Oaks Golf Complex for the Singer-Songwriter Showcase. Under the stars, fans enjoyed two incredible rounds of acoustic stories from some of the most talented writers and artists of Nashville.
This year’s line -up, Drew Kennedy, Josh Griider, Riley Roth, Chris Roberts, Heidi & Johnny Bulford and Craig Wayne Boyd included. With intimate versions that emphasized the stories behind the songs, the evening was full of laughter, connection and music magic.
Night three: VIP concert under the stars


The grand finale returned to Haggin Oaks on Tuesday 30 September, with a sold-out All-VIP concert among the stars. This year the VIP concert experience was elevated with dinner and including drinks, creating a real “concert under the stars”.
Artists performed in rounds, exchanged songs and stories in a unique intimate style. The first round contained Jason Michael Carroll, love and theft, and running away June, while the second round brought powerful versions of George Birge, Jackson Dean and Chase Matthew.



Earlier that day, the festival also organized the Celebrity Charity Golf Tournament, where artists work with golfers to compete and raise money for their chosen charities.
More than music: return
Golf & Guitars in the core is about more than just music. It is a celebration of the community and giving, donated to a charity with 100% of the net funds via the Morton Golf Foundation. Over the years, Golf & Guitars has now collected more than $ 2 million for charities for children, with countless lives in Sacramento and then changed.
Golf & Guitars 17 was downright magical this year. Thank you for the incredible artists, sponsors and fans who make this event possible year after year. Your support not only brings unforgettable music to Sacramento, but it also has a lasting impact on children and families who need it the most.
From the bottom of our country music reading hearts, thank you. We’ll see you next year for Golf & Guitars 18 in 2026! So keep those cowboy hats ready!
