Golf
The Annual Gale Foster Memorial Golf Tournament will begin at 1:00pm on Tuesday, June 4th on the Norman Course, which is onsite at the resort, and casual golf on Wednesday, June 5th will be consecutive tee times beginning at 1:00pm on the Robert Trent Jones Jr. Course, also onsite at the resort.
Designed by the legendary Greg Norman, the "Great White Shark," the Norman Course incorporates the natural undulations of the Potomac River Valley, meandering along the Potomac River. The rolling landscape of the 7,332-yard par-72 golf course winds through a mature hardwood forest and along rock outcroppings.
Golf Magazine named the Norman Course one of the "Top 10 New Courses You Can Play" in 2005, and it remains one of the "Top 20 Greg Norman Courses You Can Play."
The Robert Trent Jones Jr. Course provides mental challenges with risk-reward holes and a tee-to-green carry over water on the par-3 17th hole, as well as physical tests with a pair of classic, three-shot par-5s. While friendly, the strategic layout will test the skills of all playing levels, rewarding each with a memorable round of golf.
Tuesday Golf Fee: $115 + tax per person*
Wednesday Golf Fee: $115 + tax per person*
Club Rental Fee: $60 + tax*
*Golf fees will be charged to attendee's hotel room. If you will be staying offsite, you will need to arrange payment in the Pro Shop prior to tee-off.
