TOURNAMENT HOTELS
Please book your hotel rooms ASAP. The Southern Closed 10s takes place over the same weekend as CMA Fest in Nashville, and therefore, hotel rooms are going fast. We do have some tournament hotels that have blocked off a limited amount of rooms, so the sooner you book the better.
We highly recommend the Embassy Suites. The rate is $149/night and each room is a suite-style with 2 queen beds and a pull-out couch; FREE hot breakfast is also included. We also recommend the Courtyard Marriott in Green Hill due to the close proximity to Centennial Sportsplex (only 4 miles down the road). Please click "more info" to view the complete list of tournament hotels on our Tournament Hotels Page.
