Ozark Gateway Region Golf Tournament Brings Players Together for Tourism Support

The Ozark Gateway Region held its annual golf tournament Saturday, May 16, at the beautiful Cherokee Village South Course, bringing teams together for a fun day of golf while supporting tourism efforts across North Central Arkansas.

The tournament supports the Ozark Gateway Region and its ongoing mission to encourage visitors to experience the scenic beauty, outdoor recreation, small towns, and unique attractions that make this area so special.

The Ozark Gateway Region extends sincere appreciation to all sponsors and volunteers who helped make the event a success, including Donna Cruse, Terri French, Tricia Jordan, Lauren Siebert, and Pat Behrndt, who helped the tournament run smoothly throughout the day. A special thank you also goes to the Cherokee Village Fire Department for preparing a delicious burger lunch for participants.
