The 2025 event was scheduled for October 23-25. It is a highly competitive, 54-hole stroke play tournament open to amateur golfers, with the field typically comprising a mix of local and regional players. The tournament is open for registration via an online sign-up, and players can typically enter directly through the official tournament website or the golf course’s event portal.
