COURSE DETAILS & LOCATION
SURREY GOLF CLUB
The championship Main Course at Surrey Golf Course measures in excess of 6,800 yards from the blue tees, 6400 yards from the white tees and 5,900 yards from the red tees. The course features a beautiful variety of mature trees, and combined with strategically placed water hazards and bunkers, will challenge all golfers. However, the generous fairways and trimmed rough, makes it enjoyable for golfers of all levels. Tournaments played on the Main Course normally involve participants who are familiar with the game of golf, including course etiquette and being able to complete 18 holes of golf in 4 ¼ hours.
In deciding on what tees to play, keep in mind the ability of the majority of your participants. Speed of play, which affects the enjoyment of your participants, will be seriously affected by which tees you choose. All tournaments are monitored by Surrey Golf Club staff. Players assistants will help participants maintain a enjoyable pace of play.

PROGRESSIVE HOLE-IN-ONE JACKPOT RULES
- In order to qualify for the Hole-in-one (H.I.O) JACKPOT offered at a VGT event, a player must be entered into the $20 skins game/hole-in-one pot for that event. If there is no winner of the hole-in-one at VGT event, the current hole-in-one pot will carry over to the next event until we have a winner of the jackpot. If by the end of the Winter Tour the jackpot has not been won, the current jackpot will be carried over into the Summer Tour schedule.
- If the jackpot accumulates to $5,000, it will be cut-off at $5,000 and the first eligible person (see above) to score a hole-in-one on an eligible jackpot hole will receive the $5,000 payout. A secondary Hole-in-one purse will be started as soon as the original jackpot reaches $5,000. From the time the original purse reaches $5,000, moneys collected for the H.I.O purse will accumulate in this secondary pot while the first pot remains at $5,000. The secondary pot will continue to grow until the next eligible player scores a hole-in-one on the designated jackpot hole at a VGT event. The maximum H.I.O purse paid out at any time will be $5,000, and once the pot has reached $5,000, a 3rd and 4th purse (and so on) will be established for future winners.
- Due to the skill difference of Pros versus the Amateurs in the field, we level the playing field for the JACKPOT two ways:
- By allowing the Division 1,2 and 3 amateurs to tee-off a shorter designated tee-box at various times compared to Professionals and Championship Amateurs.
- VGT hosts numerous Amateur only events where Amateurs have a chance to win the JACKPOT without Pros in the field.
