The Ice Breaker Par 3 tournament kicked off our first golf event of the 2023 season. This year we had 3 Flights: the Nicklaus, the Palmer, and the Player. Will Rogers captured the Nicklaus flight with a low score of 76, Allen Dempsey took the Palmer flight with a 91, and Manny Ngoh secured the Player flight with a score of 98. With challenging pins and unique tee locations, this event is a Club favorite.

After a successful Ice Breaker tournament, we began prepping for the busiest time of the year. Springtime in Augusta means the eyes of the world are locked in on our region while Champions Retreat gets to play a leading role as host to the Augusta National Women’s Amateur. With added live coverage, the Club displayed championship playing conditions during both rounds of the tournament. Our firm greens presented a challenging two days as the competitors were tested leading up to their final round at the National. After a rain delay and an intense playoff, Rose Zhang secured a coveted victory.

The Club hosted several Members and visitors from around the world during Masters Week All of which experienced the golf, fine dining, and entertainment we had to offer. Champions Retreat has become a definite place to be a part of with the southern hospitality, incredible venue, and a golf course that is second to none, visitors have already started planning their next Masters Week at the Club.

Our instructional programs continue to gain popularity allowing for new friendships, playing partners, and an overall excitement for the game of golf. Both Fore the Ladies and Future Champions Golf Academy have showcased new and innovative ways to elevate one’s golf game. Be on the lookout for future Club communications regarding sign-up dates for these programs.

As we move into the summer, we are looking forward to hosting the Men’s and Women’s Club Championship, a 36-hole, two-day medal play event. We are also gearing up for our annual Member-Guest tournament, which is right around the corner. This threeday event will feature five 9-hole matches and a championship shoot-out to determine the winner of each flight.
