Schedule of Events
Thursday, April 26
18-Hole, Par 3 Short Course; Scramble
The Short Course, while overshadowed by the two main tracts, is a thing of beauty, with more than half the holes touching the lake. This 18-hole course of one-shotters might be the finest anywhere in the country.
Tee times start at 1:30 p.m.
Friday, April 27
Individual Stroke Play (Gross and Net); Lake Course
With 12 holes hugging the shore of Lake Saugahatchee, the Lake course is one of the most scenic courses you can find. Not only is the quartet of par 3s as good as any in the nation, the 230-yard island green 15th hole may be the single prettiest hole on the Trail.
Tee times start at 11 a.m.
Saturday, April 28
4 Man Scramble; Links Course
The cornerstone of the complex is the Links course, which is without a single weakness. The par four 18th hole is without a doubt one of the strongest finishing holes on the Trail. The drive must carry a corner of the lake, while the approach is played to a pedestal green.
Tee times start at 11:00 a.m.
Saturday Night Dinner and Awards
Enjoy a southern-style cookout following the individual stroke play at Grand National’s clubhouse with festive beverages, prizes, and great home cookin’ to celebrate a fabulous three days of brotherhood.
Dinner and Awards start around 5 p.m.
