Riverside Golf Club is excited to announce the 2019-2020 Winter Tournament Series. The Winter Series is built to be all about “fun” and will feature team and individual fun and creative formats. Anyone is invited to play – if you don’t have an official handicap, no worries, we will help create one for you. Each event will be a different format and will feature different golf course set-ups. All events will be net competitions with multiple flights if necessary. We will offer one event per month November through March. The cost per event is $45 per player and includes greens fees, range balls, prize fund, KP prizes and food. With the exception of the February Chili Chapman, all other events will feature a 7:30 AM breakfast buffet in the Riverside Bistro before the 9AM shotgun start – for the Chili Chapman in February, a chili and cornbread feed will be held after the tournament in the Riverside Bistro. Sign up sheets for all events are posted in the Riverside golf shop, and players may also sign up by calling the golf shop at 360.748.8181 or by emailing Head Golf Professional Austin Abbott at austin@playriversidegolf.com. We hope your join us for some fun golf this winter!
