Boys 16-18 Age Division
$155 or $175 entry fee (GHIN vs non-GHIN price)
The Florida Junior Tour heads to the Blue/Red Nines on the Harbourside Course at Longboat Key Club for the 2016 edition of the 54-hole major on Memorial Day Weekend. This 27-hole facility was designed by notable architect Willard Byrd. Bordering Sarasota Bay, this award-winning Sarasota golf course plays through stands of oak, sabal palm, fiddle-leaf palm, Washingtonian palm, fig, palmetto and southern pine. The tree-lined fairways and swirling winds put a premium on shot-making and course strategy, while prevailing breezes from the Gulf of Mexico keep Harbourside a refreshing challenge year round. A beautiful golf course right on the Gulf of Mexico will provide a great test this Memorial Day.
