*2025 All tee time reservations are done by calling the course 2 weeks in advance!*

The Minnesota group plays golf Monday and Thursday during the Snowbird season.  Scott Smith coordinates the dates, group rates and course selection.  
The group rate is usually cheaper than the course everyday price, but in November most courses also offer 6-pack rates that are a good value as well.  Check with each course for more details.  

Note:  The courses will hold our group tee slots until 1 week prior to the event date.  Thereafter, the course reserves the right to take back unused tee times.
