About this Event
Andrew Green has made a name for himself in recent years with restoration work, specifically championship Donald Ross restoration work. From Inverness to Oak Hill to East Lake, Green has recovered many Ross greats and made them shine. In New Jersey, that project is Mountain Ridge Country Club. And this summer, we get to experience all it has to offer.
Please note that caddies are required for this event and are to be paid directly on the day of play. You have the option to take a walking caddie or forecaddie and will indicate which during registration.
