A TOURNAMENT THAT STARTS WITH A DRIVE…
The Bentley Continental Cup combines two of the greatest pleasures open to the keen
sportsman and sportswoman: a challenging and competitive golf tournament, and the
opportunity to drive a Bentley from the Continental Family. Win or lose, our vision
is to create a day for you to remember by introducing you to Bentley’s new family
of cars in the relaxed company of your fellow golfers and Bentley Retailer team.
We hope that you’ll join us. Who knows? Your drive could take you all the way to
the National Final.

Additional Information:
America's oldest golf club and founding member of the USGA, Saint Andrew's is one of golf's venerated historical venues. Come and play on the superb Jack Nicklaus signature golf course laid out on the same rolling Westchester County sire that the club moved to in 1897. In explaining his philosophy behind the design, Nicklaus said, “I must think back to the way they'd build a course at the turn of the century, visualize that, and then try to build that vision to modern standards...a course in the Merion mold."

Additional Information:
The features that golfers are most likely to remember about a round at Eagles Nest are its undulating fairways and uneven lies, the nasty riveted pot bunkers, the massive sand scars and fescue dunes. The course changes character on Holes 3 through 7, plunging into the valley formally known as the Honey Pot Ski Centre. Dramatic elevation changes and forested valley slopes covered with towering white pines are the back drops for these holes.
Evoking memories of the very origins of the game, this absolutely stunning links layout, crafted by renowned golf course architect Doug Carrick, is an exquisite blend of tradition, nature and design which makes every round truly memorable.

Failure to show evidence or proof of an official handicap index onsite will result in participant playing as a scratch golfer.

name will be drawn.
