About the Tournament

IMPORTANT PLAYER DETAILS FOR 2024 TOURNAMENT: Thank you for registering a team for the GHCOC Hewitt Express Classic presented by the City of Hewitt taking place this Friday at Cottonwood Creek Golf Course! The committee, sponsors and staff have planned several interactive activities – even the chance to win a vehicle sponsored by Allen Samuels Dodge or $1,000,000 sponsored by HEB!

The GHCOC is hosting Business After Hours with cornhole, music, food and beverages, accompanied by an optional Goodie Bag/Rules Pick Up @ Cottonwood Creek tomorrow – Thurs., Sept 12 from 5-7 pm. You will be able to purchase raffle tickets, super passes and extra mulligan tickets in advance on Thursday.

If you choose to check in on Thursday evening, please stop by the pre-check check-in area on Friday in the clubhouse to confirm arrival, then you’re free to locate your cart for the shotgun start!

Can I register as a single player?
Yes! We will pair you up with other players.
We’ll provide breakfast by Shipley’s and Hewitt IGA, lunch by Walk-On’s, bottled water snacks and powerade including Bush’s tender rolls before. Snacks/beverages will be available on the course at various interactive hole sponsor booths, and Cottonwood Creek Golf Course also has drinks available through purchase at the clubhouse bar and through the beer cart on the course.
The Super Pass enables teams to be eligible to play in all contests throughout the tournament. We’ve found that teams enjoy paying for everything all at once, and doing so also speeds up play. The Super Pass is $120 for a team of 4 and is available for sale online and at check-in the day of the tournament.
Prizes are awarded to 1st, 8th, 14th and 20th place teams. The 1st place team wins $400 total in gift cards to Cottonwood Creek Golf Course Pro Shop, 8th place receives $300 in gift cards to the Pro Shop, 14th place wins $200 in gift cards to the Pro Shop and the 20th place team receives $100 in gift cards to the Pro Shop.
