Join us at the beautiful Ponderosa Country Club on Thursday, October 2, 2025, for this “Captain’s Choice” fundraiser tournament. Cash awards will be presented to winning teams in each flight, in addition to the longest drive and closest to the pin. Registration includes two mulligans, SCLRC prize pack, and a BBQ dinner in the clubhouse following play.

A number of great sponsorship opportunities are also available for businesses, organizations, or individuals looking to make a tax-deductible contribution.

SCLRC’s ministry of hospitality provides holy spaces for groups to strengthen and renew faith, have times of fellowship, and build lasting memories! All proceeds from the tournament will be used to help fund the daily operational costs of each retreat center while benefiting countless individuals all year long! Register Here →
