Strength of field

The championship draws 120 competitors across all divisions, with the Super Senior field competing for over $4,000 in gift certificate prizes.

Course expectations

Mangrove Bay's par-72 championship course features rolling terrain, natural mangroves, strategic water hazards, and well-protected greens that demand accurate iron play and course management.

Weather risk

October in St. Petersburg typically brings warm temperatures and the possibility of afternoon thunderstorms, though the area's championship course drains well.
