Ozark Gateway Region has scheduled their first annual Golf Classic for October 17 at the Golf Course at Turkey Mountain in Horseshoe Bend, Arkansas. Each year the event will rotate at a different golf course in the eight county Ozark Gateway region of north central Arkansas.

Refreshments and snacks will begin the morning at 8 a.m. with a shotgun tee time at 9 a.m. Entry fee is $120 per team plus a cart fee of $10 per player. Prize money will be determined by the number of entrants in the event. Proceeds from the tournament will go for promotion and marketing of the Ozark Gateway region to out-of-town potential visitors.
