Golf Outing Details
The MCAA Golf Outing will be held at Fircrest Golf Club, Tacoma, Washington on Friday, September 15 from 12-6:00 PM.

Known as one of the Nation's "Sportiest" Layouts, Fircrest Golf Club was designed as a golf course to be both friendly to the recreational player and challenging to the tournament player in 1923. Fircrest has been the site of national and regional events. The course was based upon the natural movement of the existing land in the true Scottish tradition. The undulating terrain is a true test of golf, providing opportunity for the ardent shotmaker to use every club in the bag. Fircrest boasts Fir tree-lined fairways and a new northwest style club house.

Fircrest is located approximately 55 minutes from downtown Seattle. Please respond to the MCAA office if you will require transportation to the golf course or if a private vehicle will be utilized.

Please respond ASAP as space is limited.
