The winner of the Island Resort Championship at Sweetgrass will take home a trophy, a tribal honor quilt handmade by an elder of the Hannahville Indian Community, and a check for $33,750. In some cases, the golfer may play on both the Epson tour and the LPGA.” “These athletes are working their way to an LPGA card, and the average score is just a stroke or two below the LPGA average. “And the Epson Tour golf play is excellent,” Mancilla added. “If you’ve never witnessed a pro golf tournament, the Island Resort Championship at Sweetgrass is a great, inexpensive, family-friendly place to see one,” said Tony Mancilla, General Manager of Island Resort & Casino and Tournament Director. As a part of the Epson Tour “Road to the LPGA,” 144 professional women golfers will once again descend upon the Island Resort & Casino to play Sweetgrass (2022 National Golf Course of the Year) and competing for prize money totaling $225,000. The exuberant energy of women’s professional golf will be returning to the Upper Peninsula June 23-25 for the 12th year of the Island Resort Championship at Sweetgrass.
