The FJT returns to Timacuan Golf & Country Club in December 2016 with the 13-15 year old division. Timacuan is a par 72 Ron Garl design that can stretch over 7,000 yards. A strategic gem, the golfer must use extreme precision with his/her tee shots and irons if he/she is looking for success. Being prepared mentally is as important as being prepared physically when taking on this Central Florida track. Located in Lake Mary, which is just northeast of Orlando on I-4, Timucuan makes for an easy commute for nearly all golfers in Florida..
