WHERE WE START IN 2017
The 2017 North Star Tour kicks off at The Wilds Golf Club in Prior Lake, MN (picture above).
Our first event of the season will also be our first ever team event. Players will pair up in two person teams to play a high stakes "Four-Ball" format in the 18 hole event. The event format choice was inspired by the 2016 Ryder Cup that took place only 12 miles away. We project the The NS 2-Man Opener to have a purse of $10,000 and the winning team to take away $3,000+. The event will be open to both professionals and amateurs and is scheduled only days before our Memorial Classic at Mississippi National Golf Links (54 hole event).
The Wilds is a Tom Weiskopf design just South of Minneapolis. The course has picturesque tee shots and complex greens. Although The Wilds looks fair and clean, it is not easily dominated. The course can be stretched over 7,000 yards and has recently hosted USGA qualifiers.
