The
1999 Florida Classic Pro-Am
23rd - 30th January 1999
European and American
Teams Welcome!
The 1999 Florida Classic Pro-Am offers an exciting combination of great golf in a superb destination, Jacksonville, Florida, home of the U.S. P.G.A. Tour, including the chance to visit the new World Golf Hall of Fame and museum. Jacksonville, known as Florida's First Coast of Golf, offers a bustling metropolitan downtown with great restaurants and nightlife, unique shopping and numerous historial sites in addition to a range of exciting golf courses. The area enjoys semi-tropical weather providing for year-round out-door activity. Maximum daily temperatures average 68ºf in January.
THE GOLF COURSES
Five rounds of golf at four great courses
are included, with a 54-hole Pro-Am, and a Challenge Day at either TPC Sawgrass
Stadium Course or Oakbridge Country Club, depending on the accommodation
option selected:
TPC Sawgrass - Stadium Course, designed by Pete Dye and home of The Players Championship, offers exciting golf on a world-renowned course. The course was cut out of 415 heavily wooded acres and features vast sandy "waste areas" and links-type bunkers.
TPC Sawgrass - Valley Course, also designed by Pete Dye, hosted the Seniors Championship in '88, '89 and '90, and offers only slightly less demanding short-making with water a major factor on all but four holes.
Oakbridge Country Club at Sawgrass was recently redesigned by the team of Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay. Tight tree-lined fairways and undulating greens demand proper shot placement.
Queen's Harbour Yacht and Country Club is a demanding but fair test of golf, widely respected by players of all skill levels. The golf course blends perfectly into a spectacular natural setting featuring tidal marshes, century old oaks and a finishing hole framed by the freshwater harbour.
Deercreek Country Club offers a challenging championship layout, which hosted the US Open Championship Local Qualifier in 1996. The course meanders through a 285 acre natural preserve hosting a variety of Florida wildlife, within natural wooded uplands. The abundance of water offers golfers an enjoyable but challenging test of skill.
