<p><strong>Saturday, September 4th, 2010</strong><br />
The tournament will begin on Saturday with an 18-hole two-person  best ball on the Rick Smith &#8220;Signature&#8221; Course.  You will also compete  individually on the world famous 9-hole &#8220;Threetops&#8221; Course which will be  set up exactly the way it was when some of golf&#8217;s greatest  professionals competed in the Par 3 Shootout.  Saturday evening will  include a reception, dinner and more tributes to our soldiers.</p>
<p><strong>Sunday, September 5th, 2010</strong><br />
Play will conclude on Sunday with an 18-hole two-person scramble on  the Tom Fazio &#8220;Premier&#8221; Course.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>Arnold Palmer&#8217;s “Signature Course”  King&#8217;s Challenge is reborn in Leelanau County as Manitou Passage Golf Club</em></strong><br />
<a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3529989&amp;op=1&amp;view=all&amp;subj=330317715890&amp;aid=-1&amp;auser=0&amp;oid=330317715890&amp;id=303420353936"><img style="float:right; margin-left: 5px" src="http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs246.ash1/17367_312917218936_303420353936_3529989_8020424_a.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>Over the past two decades some of the most  distinguished new golf courses in America have opened in northern  Michigan. Perhaps that’s because the nationally acclaimed golf course  architects who designed those courses were inspired by the beauty of  region’s hills, forests and waters. Nowhere is that beauty more  pronounced than to the northwest of Traverse City in Leelanau County.</p>
<p>This sparsely populated decidedly rural county is made up of 348 square  miles of land and 2,184 square miles of water. It is the home of the  Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, which is considered by many to  be the State’s number one attraction. Its unmatched beauty with a  climate tempered by the water made it a perfect setting for an Arnold  Palmer Signature Course - the course that King’s Challenge was meant to  be.</p>
<p>When a group lead by Bob Kuras, president of The Homestead, purchased  King’s Challenge last year they knew it had not been what it was meant  to be. They also knew it could be a signature course and, with  dedication, could become a destination course featuring exceptional  playing conditions and unmatched service. When the group adopted a goal  of becoming a destination course they decided that the course needed a  new name that would tie it to Leelanau County and portray the unique  high-end experience it would offer.</p>
<p>“While working on the new tee boxes for No. 8 we discovered a view of  Lake Michigan’s Manitou Passage. Immediately, we realized that name was  the tie to Leelanau County. We also realized that the grandeur of the  passage would portray what we are doing here: creating a world-class  golf experience on a course designed by one of the greatest golfers to  play the game”, said Kuras.</p>
<p>To create that experience the new ownership group reestablished a  relationship with Palmer and brought in other experts. One was Wadsworth  Golf Construction, the most respected golf course contractor in the  country with over 800 projects to its credit. The other was  Peridian  International, a leader in land planning and landscape architecture for   resort destinations throughout the world. Together, Palmer, Wadsworth  and Peridian envisioned scores of changes, some minor, some major, that  would be made to bring the course and facility up to the championship  level experience that an Arnold Palmer “Signature Design” is noted for.</p>
<p>Wadsworth worked from early spring until early winter to make the  majority of the  recommended changes. Renovations included the  repositioning, adding and squaring off of tee-boxes, widening of  fairways in key landing areas, renovating bunkers, lengthening some  holes, restoring areas with native grasses and clearing of trees and  brush to open vistas to the area’s natural beauty.</p>
<p>Complimenting the golf course work was a complete renovation of the  entry drive, parking area, cart storage, starter’s plaza and clubhouse.  The new clubhouse features a tastefully detailed stone and cedar shake  exterior. Inside, the newly created library and trophy alcoves, club  room, grill and golf shop feature stone fireplaces, luxurious  furnishings, oriental rugs, warm rich woods and original art.  New patio  doors lead to a multi-level patio that affords stunning views of the  18th hole and offers guests’ outdoor food and beverage services.</p>
