Local Golf: City Leagues starting this week

River Run Golf Links, a city-owned golf course, has two leagues starting this week.

Each league is over 22 weeks, with the City Summer Golf League beginning on Wednesday, April 18th.

It will run every Wednesday with a 5:30 p.m. shotgun start. The format is an individual stroke play with low gross, net and putts divisions.

The registration fee is $40 per player, limited to the first 80 players. It includes $27.50 going into a weekly prize pool and $12.50 goes to an end of the year banquet.

There is also a weekly fee of $10.50 for each player that includes a green fee and cart for nine holes.

Both prices include sales tax.

The same registration and weekly fees apply to River Run's Couples Twilight Golf League.

That league is conducted every Friday, starting on April 20th and is also a 5:30 p.m. shotgun start.

It's limited to the first 40 couples that sign up.

Out of the registration fee, $22 goes to the weekly prize pool and $18 goes to the awards party at the end of the season.

The format for the couples league, however, is a team scramble.
