The Florida State Parent-Child Championship will be “magical” once again as it returns to Walt Disney World. Osprey Ridge, a Tom Fazio-design, has been named one of the “Top 10 Resort Courses in America” by Golf Magazine. Eagle Pines is an imaginative creation of Pete Dye. The professionals will test the Magnolia Course, home of the National Car Rental Golf Classic.
