These are sample rates only. Additional occupancy combinations and other hotels will be offered when the hotel reservation system opens.


Kudos to FIRST for negotiating such great hotel rates. If my memory serves me correctly, last year it was $275 per person in a quad room at the Marriott. That's a huge savings ($105/person). If your team is travelling with more than 10 people, you've already offset the increased cost for Championship registration.

I'm impressed.
