Thank you for participating in our 2023 Tampa Gator Club Scholarship Golf Tournament - It is GREAT TO BE A FLORIDA GATOR. This is one of our signature fundraising events. Your donations will go toward scholarships for future deserving Gator students from Hillsborough County.  We are especially thankful for the continuing support of our Title Sponsor, The Patio, and Presenting Sponsor, JJ Taylor.

The goal of our tournament is to accomplish two main objectives:

  1. Raise as many scholarship dollars as possible for our future Gator students

  2. Have a fun and memorable golfing experience

 

a few things to know

  • Your name has been submitted for base access. If we have any issues with base access, we will contact you or your foursome POC to change/update accordingly. PLEASE ENTER THROUGH THE DALE MABRY MAIN GATE (not the Bayshore Gate). NO Additional participants/people are allowed to enter the base other than those on the roster.

  • Follow the route provided via Google Maps.  https://goo.gl/maps/wuWDKjHs4ebnvE2t8

  • CONGRATS! We have a FULL field and as such, we will be playing “par golf” to ensure a more efficient round of golf. If you are at par on a hole, pickup your ball and score yourself with a par. You CAN buy mulligans too!

  • Breakfast, coffee, and refreshments can be purchased at the Course Restaurant 

  • While we recommend that you eat prior to arrival, we will provide a small breakfast snack bag as well. There will also be two beverage/snack carts on the course.

  • *The Pro Shop will be open if you forget anything. There are many MacDill AFB items for sale (No Sales Tax).
