Welcome back to Palm Springs

After a wildly successful event in 2010, the GCSAA National Championship & Golf Classic, presented in partnership with the Toro Company, is heading back to the desert.

It’s all about networking

Take advantage of more than 25 hours of networking opportunities with your peers in the golf course management industry. Learn new techniques, best practices and build lifelong relationships.

Something for everyone

Whether you are an intense competitor or just looking to have a good time, there is something for everyone. Grab a partner (or we’ll find one for you) and join Friday’s Four-Ball Mixer fun event. All skill levels will enjoy the Golf Classic, Saturday and Sunday’s flighted tournament. The event uses a point quota scoring system and features several fun contests throughout the round. Of course, a National Champion will also be crowned as the best golfers in the business go head-to-head in a 36-hole stroke play event.
