Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT DO MY LEAGUE FEES INCLUDE?
League fees include nine (9) holes of golf, riding cart, and range balls for six (6) Sundays. Teams will play nine hole rounds of golf at Eagle Crest (April 14 & 21), Quail Run (April 28 & May 5) and Widgi Creek (May 12 & 19) golf clubs. But wait... there's more.

​

Two-player teams play against the field in a variety of 9-hole games including scramble, Happy Gilmore, wild card, three-club, KP, long drive and a few fun surprises including the dreaded gilligan/mulligan/lazarus.
