2021 Greatest course assignments announced here

Some things to know about the 2021 course selection process:

Greatest sold out in 2020 at 300 players with 20 people left on the waiting list. With that in mind and with an interest in showcasing this event to a more regional audience, we have added a 3rd course to Friday and a 5th course to Saturday.

We are thrilled to welcome The Links at Firestone Farms and Reserve Run to this year’s lineup.

These courses are among the Valley’s most well-maintained and serviced operations on and off the course, and ownership has been immense promoters of Greatest for a decade. They are among the leaders in public-private operations that are able to create country-club level conditions.

Course additions are key at this time as Greatest aims to expand over the next few years into a regional golf destination event. Adding new courses is key to that goal.

In assigning our 12 divisions to the courses, we take into account:

• The tradition of rotating our courses so that players see a new course every year. Every course in our lineup seeks to host all players, and especially the Open players.

• Course difficulty for our competitors. Players tell us Greatest is a different level of golf from the weekday league and weekend money game. 6,500 yards feels like 10,000; Fairways become chutes; Greens are slick pin dots. This course lineup reflects a balancing of golf experiences to make the best setting possible for competition and camaraderie.

• The numbers in each division last year and the likelihood of them staying at that level.

• Division size can be fickle and our below course lineup may have to adjust to any sizeable fluctuation in signups.


So with that, we are pleased to announce the 2021
