SGS Golf Tournament | Shotgun/Scramble Format (Ticketed Event - $199)
Tuesday, April 1st | 1:30 PM - 7:00 PM

 

Westin Rancho Mirage Golf Resort & Spa in Rancho Mirage showcases a must-play Pete Dye-designed golf 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. The resort's iconic golf course in Rancho Mirage has been described by some as potentially diabolical, yet indescribably playable. The format will be a four-person scramble, eighteen-hole tournament where everyone hits a shot, the best ball is chosen, then 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 (and cocktails) with your colleagues 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). Club rental is an additional $71 and can be included via your registration form.
