12th Annual Reindeer Games

The 12th Annual “Reindeer Games” will be held at the City’s historic municipal golf course, Bobby Jones Golf Club, 1000 Circus Blvd, on Christmas Day, Wednesday, Dec. 25.

The event will begin with an 8:45 a.m. shotgun start. It’s a non-competitive, fun round of golf.

“This is one of our most fun events of the year,” said Parks and Recreation General Manager Sue Martin. “What better way to kick off your holiday in true Florida style than with a morning round of golf on our historic course?”

With reduced greens fees, 18 holes with a golf cart, including breakfast, costs $30 (tax included). The American and Gillespie Courses are open, at the regular rate, for 18-hole play until 9 a.m. and 9-hole play until 11 a.m. The Golf Shop closes at 11 a.m. that day.

The hot breakfast buffet will be available at G’s Southern Kitchen in the clubhouse from 7:00-8:30 a.m. for golfers participating in the Reindeer Games.  Non-Reindeer Game golfers may purchase the breakfast buffet for $9.

For more information or to register, contact the Golf Shop at 941-365-GOLF (4653).

Bobby Jones Golf Club is a 45-hole golf facility featuring two 18-hole courses and one executive 9-hole course. For details and to book a tee time, visit www.BobbyJonesGolfClub.com.
