2023 Annual VADM Vincent Lascara Golf Tournament
Monday, August 7th, 2023
Sponsored by
Join us in Colorado Springs, CO on August 7 on the West Course for the 2023 Annual VADM Vincent Lascara Golf Tournament. Our DCUC tradition of great times and fun golf, plus a chance to help support our conference charity, Robert Irvine Foundation, is a winning combination!
Get ready for rolling fairways, multi-level greens, and demanding hazards at the stunning yet formidable West Course. At 6,800 feet, this 18-hole course has more doglegs and steeply-angled greens than the East Course, and offers breathtaking views of both the mountains and Colorado Springs. The West Course plays tighter off the tee, with more heavily tree-lined holes than the East Course, and also gives players an array of spectacular approach shots. Don't let the stunning mountain views distract you; our West Course may look like a postcard, but it offers a very challenging and rewarding round of golf. The West Course was also the host site of the 1998 PGA Cup Matches.
