A VGCSA Cornerstone Partner

The Joe Saylor Memorial Tournament honors the legacy of Joe Saylor, a golf course superintendent in the Hampton Roads/Tidewater area for nearly 40 years and a founder and charter member of the Old Dominion Golf Course Superintendents Association (ODGCSA).

In Joe's memory, we are once again partnering with the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots program. Participants are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy to support the program's mission of providing holiday gifts to children in need. Thank you in advance for helping make a difference in our communities.

Designed with a links-style influence, the course rewards strategic shot-making and thoughtful course management while taking advantage of the area's unique natural landscape.
