Chamber golf tournament to showcase Empire Ranch Golf Course
For a city of our size, we have three excellent golf courses to keep local golfers content. Within 15 miles in any direction there is a number of excellent courses for any level of golfer.
As the summer golf season gears up, many non-profits hold golf tournaments for a variety of reasons to include showcasing a course, networking, allowing golfers to showcase their skills in front of like-minded individuals and, of course, for fundraising to run their organizations at a time when COVID decimated budgets.
The Carson City Chamber held a successful golf tournament in 2020 and is inviting golfers to participate in the 2021 tournament to be held on Saturday, June 19 with a 9 am shotgun start at the newly renovated Empire Ranch Golf Course. Featured, too, will be the all new Morgan Mill 9-hole 3-par course allowing players that “quick game.”
This year’s tournament will feature a Star Wars theme. Acknowledging all that is new at the course, “Empire Swings Back” will feature not only a Hole-in-One contest sponsored by Carson City Toyota, but a Krank it Hole featuring a chance to swing a handmade Krank Golf Club for prizes on the Par 5 tee box with any donations going to the Carson High Jump Start program.
Golf tournaments are supported by community businesses. Casino Fandango is sponsoring the drinks, San Franciscan Roaster Company will provide gourmet coffee. Some of the prizes will include tickets to Taste of Downtown, admittance for 10 to the Nevada State Prison Museum, a beautiful grill donated by Southwest Gas, gift cards to enjoy a meal at Chick-fil-A, Red’s Old 395, Mangia Tutto, El Charro Avitia and more. All golfers will receive a gift card to play on the new Morgan Mill course.
The included tri-tip Lunch will be worthy of any Jedi or Mandalorian which will be followed by a Champagne ribbon cutting event to launch the Morgan Mill Course.
