This prestigious event marks the first tournament to be held at the newly restored Bobby Jones Golf Course, breathing new life into a historical gem. Save the date for an extraordinary golfing experience on January 8, 2024.

The Bobby Jones Golf Club holds a special place in the hearts of golf enthusiasts and Sarasota residents alike. Steeped in rich history, the club has been a cornerstone of the community for decades. To commemorate its grand reopening, it is only fitting that The Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce brings its Golf Classic to this legendary venue.

The Bobby Jones Golf Club was originally inaugurated with a ceremonial ribbon-cutting by none other than the golf legend himself, Bobby Jones, on February 17, 1927. Mr. Jones was joined by the manager of the Sarasota Chamber of Commerce, Jules Brazil, creating a timeless connection between this esteemed golf course and the local community.

Heather Kasten, President and CEO of The Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce, expressed her enthusiasm for this historic collaboration: “We are tremendously excited to bring the Chamber’s Golf Classic to a venue with such a rich golf tradition. The Bobby Jones Golf Club represents the embodiment of golf excellence and community spirit, making it the perfect setting for our event.”

This year’s Golf Classic promises to be an unforgettable occasion, celebrating not only the game of golf but also the rebirth of a Sarasota treasure. Participants can look forward to a day of camaraderie, competition, and connection within the stunning surroundings of the Bobby Jones Golf Club.
