🦪 2026 OYSTER ROAST TOURNAMENT — PRICING & PAYMENT INFORMATION 🦪

Please see the attached infographic for all 2026 Oyster Roast pricing and payment information.

🏌️‍♀️DEPOSIT & PAYMENT

It is very important that we keep the Pro Shop running as smoothly and efficiently as possible on tournament day. To help expedite check-in and reduce wait times, we are asking each team to:

✅ Submit the mandatory $100 team deposit prior to the tournament, or
⭐ Preferably, pay your team balance in full in advance.

Taking care of your payment ahead of time will help us keep things moving and get everyone out on the course and enjoying tournament day! This must be done by 9/15/26 or we will remove you from the player board and move on to the alternate list.

🍽️ DINNER TICKET INFORMATION

Additional dinner tickets may be purchased.

• $50 — Plus One: Each player has the option to bring one guest.
• $75 — Non-Player Dinner Ticket: Available for those who are not playing in the tournament.

⚠️ Please note: We will be placing a limit on the number of additional dinner tickets sold to ensure that every player and their guest has a seat.

⛳ TAKE CARE OF THE COURSE — IT’S EVERY PLAYER’S RESPONSIBILITY!

Please take a few minutes to watch this helpful video from the USGA on how to properly rake a bunker.

Our maintenance team works hard every day to keep Marion Lake Club in great playing condition, but players play an important role too! A few extra seconds to rake your footprints and the area disturbed by your shot can make a big difference for the golfer behind you.

The USGA recommends entering and exiting bunkers from the low side whenever possible and leaving the sand as smooth—or smoother—than you found it. (USGA)

👉 Watch the video below and help us leave the course better than we found it!

Thank you for doing your part to care for YOUR golf course! 💚⛳

Having good bunker etiquette is very helpful for course maintenance...

Everyone give Millard a big shoutout for always giving the grounds crew a helping hand each time we aerate the greens. He is 92 years & still enjoys helping around the course.

⛳ GREENS AERIFICATION THIS WEEK! 🌱

Marion Lake Club will be aerifying our greens this week as part of our ongoing commitment to keeping the course in the best possible condition.

Aerification is an important part of maintaining healthy, strong, and playable greens. The process relieves soil compaction, improves air and water movement to the roots, encourages healthy root growth, and allows the greens to recover and stay in great shape throughout the season.

You may notice the greens looking and playing a little differently immediately following aerification, but we promise it’s all part of the process! 🌱🏌️‍♀️🏌️‍♂️

We apologize for the slight inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding while we give our greens the care they need. Your patience now will help us enjoy healthier, smoother greens for the months ahead!

Thank you for supporting Marion Lake Club! 💚⛳
