9th Annual Gerald Thompson Golf Tournament
aka 18th Annual AMBUC Golf Outing
Participant Information
Well it is here again. Another year of fun, golf and a time to do some good for our two
friends who left us way too soon!
This year the tournament will be held at Squaw Valley in Glen Rose, TX, and a return to
years ago when we played two different 18 holes each day. Here is a little information
about the course:
Squaw Valley Golf Club is located in Glen Rose, Texas just 60 miles southwest of the
DFW Metroplex. We are home to 36 holes of Championship Glen Rose Golf, and are
consistently rated as one of the top courses in the state, including a 4 1/2 star rating from
Golf Digest Magazine, and home to the #1 and #4 municipal courses in Texas by The
Dallas Morning News. Perfect for a day trip or even better for a weekend getaway for
Glen Rose golf, Squaw Valley features beautiful vistas of century old Oak trees and
Squaw Creek that meanders through both courses. Our professional and courteous staff of
PGA professionals will make your visit one to remember.
