Designed by Gary Rogers Baird, the General's Retreat offers 6,800 yards of challenging golf and scenic beauty with eight lakes and well-placed bunkers along the banks of the Cumberland River. The General's Retreat is beautiful and lush green year round with bent grass greens and special overseeded bermuda fairways.

The Hermitage clubhouse contains an award-winning golf shop, locker accommodations, dining rooms, grill, a snack bar and lounge. Other facility amenities include a ten acre practice range with chipping and putting greens. The golf fleet is up to date with 2008 model Yamahas equipped with GPS systems.

The tournament will be held on Tuesday, October 29^th with an 8:00 am shotgun start. A nonprofit rate of $45 has been secured for the golf fee. This includes the greens fee, cart, range balls, and lunch.
