Pick Your Paradise

America’s Most Exclusive Venues 

OAKMONT – WINGED FOOT – MEDINAH – SAND HILLS – THE COUNTRY CLUB – & MANY MORE! 

Event Details

Each registered team of three attends the event at Mission Hills on October 19, 2023. The evening includes dinner, drinks, and future greens fees for three players at a selected venue.

When you arrive at the event, each team writes their Team Captain Name on a golf ball and places it in the lottery bowl. 

The Mulligan: After dinner, The Mulligan will be auctioned off. All teams are eligible to bid on The Mulligan. When the ball of the team holding The Mulligan is drawn, that ball will be set aside and another team’s ball will be drawn. The Mulligan team’s ball will then be returned to the bowl and drawing will resume.

The Draft: Then, The Draft will begin. Golf balls will be drawn from the bowl to determine the “draft order”, starting with #20, ending with #1. The Pick Your Paradise lottery selection will begin with #1 and your team will have 60 seconds to make a selection. Be prepared.

The Lottery: The Pick Your Paradise lottery selection will commence. Starting with the team in the #1 draft position and moving consecutively through all draft positions, each team will have 60 seconds to select a venue from those available and remaining. There will be more venues than teams. The lottery rounds will all be Top 100 and exclusive golf venues around the country. Rounds will be played in 2024, unless otherwise noted in the venue description. A list of venues will be provided to each team prior to October 19th.

The Live Auction: After the last team has selected a venue, any remaining rounds will go in to the Live Auction. The Live Auction includes additional rounds at top golf courses, accommodation opportunities and more to create a great trip package to wherever your team is going. All attendees (including guests who purchased Dinner Only tickets) are eligible to bid during the Live Auction.
