The registration fee, which includes a buffet breakfast, greens and cart fees, and various contests and prizes, is $59 at Pine Ridge, $48 at Mount Pleasant, $36 at Forest Park and $55 at Clifton Park.

At Clifton Park, the Turkey Shoot will feature a “Captain’s Choice” format, with prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place teams, in addition to contests for closest to the pin, longest drive and straightest drive. While there will not be a team competition at Forest Park, Mount Pleasant or Pine Ridge, there will be prizes for closest to the pin.

Space is limited at each Turkey Shoot location, so golfers must pre-pay to reserve a space.
