Hit the links at the Westin Mission Hills that showcases a must play Pete Dye designed course set among our rolling hills with views of our desert mountains. The layout follows Pete Dye’s classic course design with hit-able fairways and challenging greens. It has been described by some as potentially diabolical, yet indescribably playable.

It is time to see who will unseat the reigning team champions: Drew Cassidenti, Mark Walter, Chuck Ascher-Walsh, and Peter Rosenblatt, women’s closest to the pin winner: Pat Rozeboom, men’s closest to the pin winner: Wes Harris, women’s longest drive winner: Catherine Matthews, and men’s longest drive winner: Ernie Lockrow.

The format will be a four-person scramble, eighteen-hole tournament where everyone hits a shot (the best ball is chosen, everyone hits the next shot from there and this continues until the ball is holed out. We encourage all to play as there is no pressure on anyone except to have a good time with our colleagues and cocktails on a beautiful golf course. The $199 fee covers the round of golf, golf cart, four drink tickets and prizes for the first and second place teams, longest drive: men and women and closest to the pin: men and women.

You may order rental clubs on the SGS registration site for only $65. This fee includes six golf balls.
