2018 Southern Amateur (Divisional)

 

Winding through the canyons and arroyos of this fabulous 600-acre high Sonoran Desert preserve are the two spectacular Tom Fazio-designed championship golf courses that are on every list of the nation's very best. Join us at Ventana Canyon - Mountain Course for the 2018 Southern Amateur.

In 2017 Bohdan Ponce won Open Division; Divisional Winners were: Masters - Paige Peterson; Senior - Don Reycroft (low 36-hole score); Legends - David Potthast.

 

*If you wish to use this 36-hole score as a qualifying score for the 94th AZ Amateur Championship, it is an extra $4o CASH that must be paid on the day of the event before teeing off on the first round. Specific number of qualfying spots available will be posted on the Notice to Players. AZ AM Qualifier participants must play in OPEN DIVISION at Southern Amateur.
