The Palmetto Courses is one of six championship layouts at The Landings, and is generally accepted by the membership and staff to be the most difficult. The Arthur Hills design, which opened in 1985 (the club was founded in 1974), challenges players with demanding tee shots, deep bunkering and elevated greens, which are designed with a variety of contours.

This will be the club’s first USGA championship, but the Palmetto Course previously hosted U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur sectional qualifying the past five years. It also hosted the Georgia State Golf Association’s Junior Championship in 2006.

As part of the course’s renovation in 2005, new tees were constructed, cart paths were converted to concrete, bunker sand was replaced, a new irrigation system installed and retaining walls were replaced.

 

PAR AND YARDAGE: The Palmetto Course at The Landings G.C. will be set up at 6,067 yards and will play to a par of 36-36-72. 

WHO CAN ENTER: All states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico may enter teams of three players. The only golfers ineligible to participate are those currently on a college team, per NCAA rules.

SCHEDULE OF PLAY: Eighteen holes of stroke play are scheduled for Oct. 4-6 (Tuesday-Thursday) with two of the lowest three individual scores counting as the team’s score for the round. The team with the lowest aggregate score through 54 holes is the champion.

ADMISSION: Admission is free of charge.
