We designed this event to reward endurance, skill and the joy of sharing a full day on the course with fellow Club9ers,” said Rob McNeil, President and Principal Architect of The Northeast Golf Company and Founder of Club9.
The cost is $225 per player.
Entry fee includes 45 guaranteed holes, cart, meals, and beverages throughout the day, a swag bag, on course contests and cash prizes for the top finishers.
Derby Format
During the Derby, players will battle across 45 holes, playing their own ball with gross and net divisions.
Champions will be crowned at the end of the day.
There will also be awards presented for the low 9 after each nine-hole segment.
