Women's Field Championship

Crooked Cat Course
Entries close Wednesday, October 2, 2013

Due to the popularity of the Women's Stroke Play Championship, the event has been split into two separate Championships, the Women's Stroke Play Championship and the Women's Field Championship.  The Women's Field Championship will be conducted at Orange County National Golf Club & Lodge in Orlando.  Competitors will be competing for both net and gross prizes in all three divisions. 

Orange County National Golf Club & Lodge

Crooked Cat features significant elevation changes, rolling fairways and large, contoured greens. But with fewer trees, wider landing areas, native heather and mounding framing the fairways, Crooked Cat presents golfers more of a links-style look. It may well be the most naturally beautiful Orlando Florida golf course.  Click here to learn more about Orange Count National GC & Lodge.

Eligibility

Must be a female amateur member of the FSGA with a valid USGA GHIN handicap.

Entry Fee

$160 - Entry fee includes both competitive rounds, cart fees, tee gift, awards luncheon following play on Wednesday, October 16, and gift certificate prizes. Late entries will be accepted subject to a $10 late entry fee should the entrant gain acceptance into the field.

Players will be pre-flighted based on their current handicap index as of October 1, 2013.  All Flights will compete for net and gross prizes. Generally, divisions of more than 10 people will be flighted, however the Committee reserves the right to flight based on the number of competitors and/or the range of handicaps.
