MONTHLY GOLF OUTING
|
SBMC MONTHLY GOLF OUTING - FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26th AT DEERWOOD COUNTRY CLUB
The next SBMC monthly golf outing will be at Deerwood Country Club. The date is Friday, September 26th and we'll have a shotgun start at 12:00PM. The cost is $50.00 (+ tax) per player and includes range balls.
Deerwood has seen more than 50 years of legendary golf. In 1960, golf architect George Cobb put Deerwood Country Club on the map by designing a stunning course that would eventually draw the attention of professional golfers, including competitors who came to Deerwood for the Greater Jacksonville Open (now known as THE PLAYERS Championship).
In 2004, Deerwood Country Club's entire golf facility underwent a comprehensive renovation. During this time, award-winning golf architect Brian Silva developed a brand-new, par-72 course with five sets of tees ranging from 5,228 yards for the reds to 7,261 yards for the championship tees.
We have a maximum of 36 participants. If you want to join us please contact Nico Hogeveen at 904-403-6754 or nhogeveen@golftec.com to reserve your spot(s).
