Pacific Amateur celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2016

The 2016 Lithia Pacific Amateur Golf Classic in Central Oregon is celebrating this year with its 20th annual tournament.

The Pacific Amateur is one of the largest amateur events in the country and this year is set for Sept. 17-22 at a collection of Central Oregon’s top golf courses.

The tournament features a three-day, net stroke-play tournament at courses like Aspen Lakes, Eagle Crest, Black Butte and Sunriver. There are a variety of flights for men, women and seniors. There is even a gross division for players without handicaps or low handicappers who just want to play straight up.

Entry fee is $530 and includes three rounds of tournament golf on three different courses, a Pac Am gift bag valued at more than $200, demo day, lunch and cart all days of the tournament and if you are among the top finishers in your flight you qualify to play for the championship at Sunriver’s Crosswater against other flight finalists. Sunriver is also offering a deal for lodging and entry fees as well this year.
