Champions include the likes of Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Phil Mickelson, Birdie Kim, and Nick Dunlap. The course consists of bent/ poa push-up greens with fairways, tees, and rough that are poa/ rye/ blue and we are currently undergoing the addition of fine fescue to much of the exisiting roughs.
