Clay Dotson Open

Golf 1

Make plans now to join us for the 2008 Clay Doston Open on Monday, May 5, 2008.  Held at the beautiful Brasstown Valley Resort, this annual golf tournament benefits student scholarships at Young Harris College.  Since its humble beginnings, YHC has provided qualified students with up to 100 percent of their demonstrated financial need. With your generous support, YHC is able to continue this tradition.

Located in the quiet rolling hills of Young Harris, Georgia, Brasstown Valley Resort is home to a 7,000 yard, championship par-72 links-style golf course that is ranked by Golf Digest as one of the top 10 places to play in the state.
