Golf Tournament

La Quinta Dunes Golf Course

The MSCI shotgun scramble golf tournament will be played on the La Quinta Dunes Golf Course. The Pete Dye designed Dunes Course provides a relaxing round of golf surrounded by dramatic landscapes. Out of the traditional Scottish mold, this links style course favors accuracy from the tee allowing access to its well-guarded greens. The Dunes Course is ranked among Golf Digest's "Top 75 Resort Courses" in America, and was the site of the 1998 PGA TOUR Qualifying School.

Golf rates: $210.00 (includes green fees and lunch)
