Hotel Madison & Shenandoah Valley Conference Center
Harrisonburg's only downtown hotel and the official hotel of James Madison University. 230 guest rooms with mountain and valley views, more than 21,000 square feet of event space, on-site dining at Monty's, and an indoor saltwater pool — steps from downtown Harrisonburg.
Spotswood Country Club
Tuesday's tournament will be played at Spotswood Country Club, a private 18-hole course in Harrisonburg first laid out in 1926. Tree-lined fairways, classic bent-grass greens, and water in play on several holes make for a great round — just a few minutes from Hotel Madison.
