1 2016 TOURNAMENT PACKAGE ESCAPE TO THE NEW HIGHWOOD

2 FACILITIES THE COURSE Established in 1958 and located just 25 minutes south of Calgary in High River, the Highwood has everything the city does not. Surrounded by the majestic Highwood River, full of history and tradition, our Club offers a tranquil setting with mountain views and friendly smiles. Our 22-Hole layout (28-Holes in summer of 2016) offers three possible rotations for an 18-Hole event or a 22-Hole shotgun for maximum participation. We are known for our playability and excellent pace of play. You will enjoy the beautifully appointed decor and private setting of our clubhouse. Our tournament room (holds up to 200 people), pro shop, meeting room, dining room and bag drop will elevate your event to the next level. SLOPE & RATINGS Men s Ladies Heritage/Mountainvew 68.0/ /127 PRACTICE FACILITY Your event will have full access to our full length grass tee driving range, short game area with bunkers, expansive chipping area green, and our putting green.

3 FORMATS We can offer a variety of starting formats for almost every size of group. Ask our Events Coordinator about the perfect format for your group. Guidelines for # of players: Format Straight Tee Times 9 Hole Shotgun 18 Hole Shotgun 22 Hole Shotgun Minimum Maximum A shotgun format is where larger groups all start at the same time on different holes and ideally finish at the same time. Great for coordinating meals and prizes following golf. 18 and 22-Hole shotgun starts are available at either 9:00 AM or 1:00 PM. 9-Hole shotgun and crossover starts allow for a wider variety of starting times to suit your needs. A crossover start is where groups all start on the first hole (with normal spacing between groups) on multiple nines. After finishing nine holes, groups crossover to the other nine(s). This allows medium sized groups to start and finish closer to each other than regular straight tee times, but not all at the same time like a shotgun.
