Golf Outing

Join industry and NGV fleet colleagues at our annual golf outing on Monday afternoon on Rancho Bernardo Inn’s 18-hole championship course designed by William Francis Bell in 1964.  Fresh and current, the Resort Course holds the unique distinction of hosting both PGA and LPGA events.  Pristine and playable, the course is dotted with old-growth trees that provide a beautiful sun-dappled backdrop along with a canopy of shade.  Don’t miss the most talked about hole: the undulating 18th.

Per person registration charge includes greens and cart fee. Club rentals are available for an added fee. Full foursome and individual registrations welcome.
