Mary Jones

In November of 2007, Women’s Auxiliary President Mary Jones announced to the Auxiliary that the cancer that she had fought against just months earlier had returned as was terminal. This year’s event is held in honor of Mary Jones for her contagious enthusiasm and tireless determination to improve the lives of children by supporting Camp Gifford and Salvation Army youth programs through over 40 years of service in the Women’s Auxiliary.

About the Course

Indian Canyon has been chosen by Golf Digest as one of the top 25 public course in the United States. The course sits atop the west entrance to Spokane, overlooking the city. As the host to many major tournaments, Indian Canyon has hosted the USGA three times; the United States Amateur Public Links Championship in 1941 and 1984; and the United States Women's Amateur Public Links Championship in 1989. Indian Canyon now hosts the Rosauers Open, the largest PGA section event in the United States.

Built on a canyon wall with a vertical drop of 240 feet amid many towering pines, it offers a diverse and unique playing environment. The course is well bunkered and has undulated greens which require a deft touch if par of 72 is to be achieved over the hilly 6,255 yards.
