Entries Close Wednesday, March 6, 2013
Four-Ball is one of the most popular and enjoyable formats in all of golf. Partners play their own ball into the hole and take the better score for the hole of the two of them. There will be separate tees for the mid-amateurs and seniors to accommodate all players.
Santa Lucia River Club underwent a major renovation under the direct supervision of Jack Nicklaus in 2006. The course has a first class practice facility and offers some of the best golf in the Port St. Lucie area with beautiful views of the St. Lucie River. Santa Lucia has hosted top tier tournaments including the Gateway Tour and U.S. Open qualifiers. The club is conveniently located just minutes from downtown Port Saint Lucie and St. Lucie West which offer numerous restaurants, bars and hotels.
