The Faldo Championship Course at Wildfire Golf Club (onsite at the J.W. Marriott Desert Ridge and just steps away from the hotel) features generous fairways, large bent grass greens and tee boxes.

Organized by the PTDA Foundation, all proceeds from the golf outing will go directly to the Foundation in support of the Industrial Careers Pathway® initiative.  Greens fee includes box lunch, cart rental and golf balls.  In addition to individual greens fees, golfers can select their own foursomes for US$1,000.  If you are purchasing a foursome, please include the names and company affiliations of your foursome on your registration form.
