Introduction Golf Outing Information
At Chester Washington Golf Course, golf events are our specialty. We have a long history of welcoming groups and events to our club. Golf packages are available for groups of all sizes. Whether you are planning a small golf outing of 16 players, or a full field shotgun of 144 players, allow our experienced hospitality experts to assist you with every detail. Our staff works together for a top quality golf experience every time. Format considerations are important when blocking space or collecting pricing information. From tee time events to modified shotguns to full fields our club can accommodate most any request. Equipment rental is available for men and women provided that tournament requests are received by the course with two weeks of the tournament date. Group lessons and clinics are available for a fee or included in one of the selected golf outing package. Putting and chipping contests are included in the price per guest. Custom tee prizes, merchandise and certificates are available to compliment any golf outing. A Confirmation Agreement will be sent confirming all details including number of players, format, start time, date and any other details determined at the time to hold space. Once the signed Confirmation Agreement is returned with the full deposit the event is considered definite. The non-refundable deposit, which is applied to your total, is required to reserve your date. The amounts of the deposits are $100 for strait tee, and $500 for shotgun tournaments. 100% of the final estimated balance is due 10 days prior to the event date. You are obligated for and guarantee payment of all charges. All outstanding balances must be settled on the Golf Outing Date. Payment for final charges are due when presented to you and will be based on the greater of the Guaranteed Guest Count or actual number of participants, and may also include service charges, breakage, other services or merchandise purchased on the Golf Outing Date, and cash bar. Adjustments to the group's size and requirements may be made without penalty or surcharge pending final guarantees are received by the course within ten (10) days prior to the event date. A reduction of more than 50% of the group's requirements within ten (10) days is deemed a cancellation and thus subject to a cancellation fee; normally the amount of non-refundable deposit plus the number of unsold tee times at the group rate as the result of the canceled tee times. To complete your tournament experience, our Clubhouse banquet facility is a perfect complement to a fabulous day of golf and is complimentary with the purchase of any food package.

Tournament Starting Options Strait Tee
This option is ideal for smaller groups (16-72 players). Each foursome will tee off at the first (1st) tee in sequential order.
Modified Shotgun Best option for groups with 72 to 120 players. The entire tournament will start at the same time.
Full-Field Shotgun
This option is designed for groups with 128+ players and requires that the full course be used. Two groups start on each hole. All players will start and finish at approximately the same time.
Tournament Formats Best Ball Twosome
2 persons play as a team, taking handicaps as they fall on the card. Lowest score on the hole with handicap counts toward the team's best-ball score for round. Only the lowest score on the hole is counted. Team having the lowest 18-hole score wins.
Best Ball This format may be played as 2, 3, or 4 person teams. Golfers play their own ball on each hole, the lowest score is then recorded to be the team score. This format may be played with or without a handicap. This is usually a fun format with a medium pace of play. Results can be calculated quickly.
Scramble
This format is probably the most enjoyable type of tournament because only the good shots are played and the pace of play can be very fast. All players hit a tee shot. Then, the best tee shot is selected and all players take their next shot from that point. The process is repeated until the ball is "holed out". The team records a score. The winning team is the one that records the lowest 18-hole score. This format promotes easier and faster scoring.
Shamble
This format is also one the more enjoyable types of tournaments because like a scramble you use good shots only for a portion of the hole, but you also get the opportunity to play your own ball. Each person hits a drive, the team selects the best one. From that point each player plays his own ball through the hole. The team records a score. The winning team is the one that records the lowest 18-hole score.
Skins
A match play tournament; a "skin" is a point given to the player with the lowest score on a given hole.

Prize awarded for the shot that comes to rest closest to the pin; can be played on any hole on the golf course except the par 3’s
Longest Drive (LD)
Prize awarded for the longest drive off the tee-box, in the fairway; normally played on the course's longest length par 5.
Longest Putt
Prize awarded to person making the longest putt on a specific green. Recommend this contest is played on the course's putting green at the clubhouse prior to the start of the tournament to promote a fun and competitive atmosphere yet providing a reasonably rapid pace of play.
Shortest Drive
Prize awarded for the shortest drive off the tee-box, in the fairway; normally played on the same par 5 of the longest drive contest; or on a hole with a natural hazard between the tee box and the fairway, i.e. a lake, marsh, ravine or cliff.
Straightest Drive
A white line is placed down the middle of the fairway. The drive off the tee-box that comes to rest closest to the line is the winner; normally played on the course's last par 5 but not necessarily the same par 5 used for the longest and shortest drive contests.
Circle Hole
A white circle (diameter to be determined by you) is drawn around the hole on a par 3. Prizes are given to those who hit their tee shot inside the circle.

Tournament Planning Planner “To Do's” 9 Have group arrive "on time" no later than 30 minutes before starting time and/or first meal function. 9 Alert the course how the group will be arriving; motor coach, limo, vans or individual. 9 Have complete and legible NAMES on each golf bag. 9 Provide pre-tournament agenda listing starting times, locker room usage, catered functions and golf, and which expenses are the responsibilities of each golfer. 9 Provide the player's list to the course no later than 72 hours prior to the event. 9 Notify and have delivered to the course, all sponsor signs, welcome banners, tee markers or contest prizes, no later than 72 hours prior to the event. When shipping to course; address all shipping labels to the "attention of": (tournament director) and note "hold for (tournament and date)" to ensure proper delivery and holding. 9 If using a master bill (or full payment at the completion of the event), provide and make KNOWN to the host club the list of person(s) authorized to charge to the group's account. 9 If length of playing time is a concern due to daylight hours (seasonal); planned functions before/after the tournament back at the hotel; and/or difficulty of course, here are a few hints to maximize the playing time: 1) Select the proper tournament format for the level of players. 2) Limit the number of contest holes; too often there are too many and each takes twice the average length of time to play given the prizes offered. 3) Start on time. 4) Promote "ready golf" - remind players to: Have (or purchase) golf balls, tees, tee markers, divot repair tools. Carry an extra ball in their pocket at all times. Carry your putter with your other club when within chipping distance of the green. Be ready to putt when it’s your turn. ONLY ONE practice swing for each shot. Keep track of score throughout the hole/game. Add and record scores away from the putting green and en route to the next hole. Check to ensure all clubs used for chipping and bunker shots are picked up after putting. Purchase food and beverage items only when it is clearly not your turn to play.
