What's the dress code?

• For Cocktail Hour & Hors d’oeuvres and Dinner guests should wear dinner party casual attire.
• Additionally we encourage any golfers to dress “fun”, just like the spirit of the day itself. In the past we’ve had foursomes in matching outfits, Hawaiian shirts, crazy mustaches, and more! All we ask is that you be mindful that we are still playing golf and use your discretion to dress “fun” but within reason for a round of golf.
1. If your foursome really “wows” us, you just may have a chance to win a prize at the end of the night, too!

If I don’t have a foursome, can I still register?

Of course– come one, come all. We have paired people together over our 38 years that have remained friends to this day and they keep returning to the tournament year after year.

Is there a halfway house and beverage/snack cart?

Yes! There will be food and drinks available for purchase at the halfway house between nines and also a cart driving the course throughout the day.

Is there a locker room for golfers?

Yes, there is a locker room for golfers downstairs next to the bag drop and pro shop where there will be toilets, showers, towels, and soap for everyone. Note – the Ladies locker room only has 2 showers, so if it gets overcrowded, then we will provide a shuttle just for the ladies to use the locker room facilities at Mineral Springs.
