MCCALL, Idaho (June 16, 2011) -- Whitetail Club in McCall, Idaho, is hosting the sixth-annual Payette Cup couples golf tournament Aug. 25-27. Limited to 60 couples, the event is not only open to Whitetail Club members and their guests, but to guests of the public boutique lakefront resort Shore Lodge, as well.
According to Dan Scott, general manager of Whitetail Club, Shore Lodge, and a new world-class spa called The Cove, the Payette Cup is one of the finest couples tournaments in Idaho. "It's the perfect time of year up here and the tournament is a great getaway for couples and their friends who love to golf and spend time in McCall," he says. "For golf fanatics, the Payette Cup represents a great opportunity to play what's considered one of the top private golf courses in the country. And if you're interested in joining one of the best mountain-lake golf clubs in the West, it gives you a great chance to kick the tires a bit."
The three-day event includes one practice round and two tournament rounds of golf, a welcome reception Thursday night at Shore Lodge's Upper Pavilion with appetizers and cocktails, and an awards dinner and dance Saturday night at Whitetail Club's Golf Shop & Grille. Tournament registration costs $950 per couple, and Shore Lodge is offering a special 15 percent discount off lodging rates for Payette Cup participants. Friday night is left open in case tournament players want to dine at The Narrows Restaurant or one of Shore Lodge's other acclaimed onsite establishments.
