The Honors Course is not just any ordinary golf course. Designed by the celebrated golf architect Pete Dye back in 1983, this venue has built a reputation for excellence over the years. Recently, the course has received some impressive renovations led by expert architect Gil Hanse. These upgrades include significant changes to the 10th and 11th greens and the transformation of the area around the renowned 18th green, where two tributaries were exposed to add to the scenic views. And when it comes to the fairways, the entire setup has been re-grassed with the cutting-edge Zeon Zoysia hybrid for that perfect playing condition.
Get ready for some intense competition with a field of 156 golfers vying for glory! The tournament will feature a challenging par 72 layout that stretches over 6,836 yards. Keep in mind, players will have to navigate through tough, firm greens, and temperatures are expected to hover in the steamy 90s. It’s sure to be a test of skill! Tournament chairman Randy Yoder has stated that a score of around 11-over par may just get players into the match play portion of the event.
Here’s some fantastic news: the tournament is free for the public! Families, friends, and avid golf fans are encouraged to come out and enjoy not only the thrilling matches but also the natural beauty of the Honors Course. It’s a wonderful opportunity to take in some exceptional golf while soaking up the scenic environment.
