2025 Recap
The 21st annual Clay Dotson Open was a special one. All golfers and staff gathered to honor Dr. Clay Dotson, after whom this event was named. Dotson passed away in September 2024.
Two flights, 224 golfers, and a fleet of golf carts overtook Brasstown Valley Resort in the name of student scholarships. The proceeds from this event go to our scholarship program that funds students from local counties (the Bob and Carol Head Local Scholarship Campaign). We raised over $131,000 for these students!
