Golf Tournament
Thursday, May 2, 2023
12:00 p.m.
Links Course
$205– includes greens fees, cart, and a box lunch (served at the course)
Golf club rentals are available at an extra cost of $70 (+ tax) and will be paid to the course directly.
Scramble
Collared shirt and Bermuda shorts or pants required. No denim or metal spikes.
Alcoholic beverages and food via the course’s beverage carts will be available at your own expense.
A winding layout against the backdrop of the Baytowne Marina and the Choctawhatchee Bay designed by renowned architect Tom Jackson, The Links is the ultimate in risk-reward golf. A shot-makers course, accuracy, and proper club selection are key if you want to outfox the prevailing Gulf Coast winds.
With five holes that run along the bay, this is a one-of-a-kind links-style golf outing on the Emerald Coast with spectacular views. And a heart-pounding challenge.
The Links Golf Club plays from 4,897 to 6,710 yards. Offering four sets of tees, Sandestin’s original course is a must-play for golfers of all skill levels.
