We started The Friends of Richfield Golf Group and our Events to accomplish 2 main goals..

1. To bring former Richfield Golfer’s back together like the old times at Rich Acres, and bring that connection back in someway, through The “Friends of Richfield Golf” Tournament !
2. To raise money to support and grow our Richfield High School Golf Teams and Richfield Junior Golf program.

In our past tournaments because of all of the golfers, generous supporters, prize donators and our Sponsors, we have been able to raise over $10,000 that has gone towards supporting our Richfield Junior Golf Program and our Boys & Girls High School Golf Teams.

This support has allowed us to reduce Jr. Fees to only $35 and to support them in playing and hitting at Braemar and Fred Richards while transporting them to and from the golf courses this year. We have also purchased hitting mats for indoor practice and summer junior camp along with a number of Junior Golf clubs to introduce the game to the young kids of Richfield. For our High School Golfers we have been able pay for pre-season Captains practice range balls at Golfzone and the Braemar Golf Dome, and also purchase our golf team shirts and to also assist in off setting transportation costs for our players. This past year we were able to purchase Nike Storm Fit Rain suits for all of our HS Boys & Girl golfers.

We hope you will join us for a wonderful day of Golf and Fun at Crystal Lakes on Sunday, August 16th!
