With its championship pedigree, the Champion Course has hosted PGA Tour events for decades and is the current home of the Cognizant Classic.

 

Our elite senior amateurs, looking to test themselves under professional-style pressure, will relish this challenge. Let the fast greens, tight lies, and strategic bunkering sharpen your game under competitive conditions. 

 

It's a bucket-list tournament experience: Mentioning you've tamed The Bear Trap, holes 15-17, resonates with golfers at all levels. Playing the Champion Course is more than just a round of golf - it's a statement, a challenge, and a reward for elite senior amateur's, serious about their game.
