The tournament provides golfers the opportunity to play one of the most talked-about golf courses in the country while making a tax-deductible contribution. Proceeds will directly benefit the Squaxin Island Museum, Library and Learning Center, which is also known as “The Home of Our Sacred Belongings” and offers mentorships, educational programs and jobs for younger people.

The tournament will feature a scramble format with a 10 a.m. shotgun start. Registration begins at 8 a.m. The green fees include golf, cart, range balls, a catered lunch, a tee gift and two drink tickets (good for beer or soda) at the Awards Dinner and Auction, which will be held in the Salish Cliffs Clubhouse following the tournament.
