Palm Aire Country Club

Today we're looking back to November 2015, when Palm Aire Country Club proudly hosted the ISPS Handa Cup, one of the LPGA Legends Tour's premier events.

This Ryder Cup-style competition brought together some of the greatest names in women's golf as Team USA faced Team World right here at Palm Aire. The event featured legendary players, international competition, and unforgettable moments on our courses.

Fun Facts:
• Team USA defeated Team World 26–22 to retain the Handa Cup.
• The competition was led by Hall of Fame captains Nancy Lopez and Sally Little.
• LPGA legends including Juli Inkster, Laura Davies, Beth Daniel, Jan Stephenson, and many others competed.
• The Handa Cup showcased Palm Aire Country Club on an international stage and remains a memorable chapter in our club's history.
