Registration Open for NTA Conference at Chambers Bay

Chambers Bay, the site of the 2015 U.S. Open, will first be the site of the annual conference of the Northwest Turfgrass Association as green industry professionals gather in University Place, near Tacoma, this October.

The official online registration form is available by clicking here for the conference Oct. 5-7.

Two rounds of golf will be held on the links-style course on the shore of Puget Sound that will test the world’s best players less than nine months later.

The education sessions for the conference will be held adjacent to the golf course at the Pierce Country Environmental Services Building. The Liberty Inn in DuPont will serve as the host hotel. Our dinner banquets will be held at Tacoma Country & Golf Club on Sunday night and Fircrest Golf Club on Monday night.
