ORLANDO, Fla. – July 5, 2011…Marriott Golf, one of the world’s premier golf operators, is once again reaching out to families all over the world and promoting “togetherness in golf.” Marriott’s Grande Pines Golf Club and Faldo Golf Institute, located in Orlando, Fla., today announced that they will once again be coming together to host the annual Family Golf Festival on Saturday, July 23 from 9 a.m. to noon. The festival will take place at Faldo Golf Institute, 12001 Avenida Verde, Orlando, FL.

In addition, after 12 noon, families and children can play golf for free at Grande Pines Golf Club (based on availability) as part of Marriott Golf’s Kids Golf-4-Free program.

The Marriott International Family Golf Festival is another effort by Marriott to promote family golf. In 2006, Marriott Golf launched “Kids Golf-4-Free,” a first-of-its-kind program that enables kids up to 15 years old to golf for free when accompanied by a full paying adult after 3 p.m. In addition, Marriott Golf also offers free lessons anytime to kids up to 15 years old when accompanied by an adult who is taking a fully paid lesson from a Marriott Golf instructor. This program, which is available at some of Marriott Golf’s most prestigious resort destinations worldwide, was complemented in 2007 by the “Kids Rent-4-Free” program, which provides kids 15 years old and under with a free rental set of clubs when they participate in the “Kids Golf-4-Free” program.
