Fan’s Guide to the Valspar Championship

Attending a golf tournament is genuinely a “choose your own adventure” type of experience. For those who enjoy walking, we recommend picking your favorite player ahead of time, finding when he tees off on the first hole and following him for his entire round! Then find your next favorite player and follow his round! Benefits include seeing the entire Copperhead Course to fully appreciate its challenge and beauty, witnessing every shot type, and the ups and downs inherent to a full round of golf.

If a long day of exercise in the sun isn’t your cup of tea (or Arnold Palmer), find a spot on the course to post up and watch as player after player rolls through! Benefits include seeing as many players as time allows before moving to the next spot!

Whatever you do, make sure to stop by Hole #s 16-18, known as the “Snake Pit” for their difficulty in ending the round. Hole #16, named the “Moccasin”, wraps around a lake on the right with trees on the left. Sitting just off the green offers a magnificent view at incoming approach shots, often out of the trees and over the lake. The largest grandstand sits over the green at Hole #18, giving viewers an overhead look at putts to close the round (and the tournament on Sunday – if you can make it in time to save a spot).
