Donations to provide scholarships for spouses, children of U.S. Military members
(WATERSOUND, Fla.) — Camp Creek Golf Club — the award-winning Tom Fazio design ranked one of “America’s 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses” by Golf Digest — today announces its participation in Patriot Golf Day (Saturday, Sept. 3), honoring members of the Armed Forces.
Golfers can make donations benefiting the Folds of Honor Foundation, a nonprofit organization providing postsecondary educational scholarships for the children and spouses of U.S. military members disabled or killed while serving.
Those who give $5 will receive a 25% discount on merchandise in the Camp Creek golf shop if they hit the green on the par-3 16th hole with their first shot.
“We are honored to continue the tradition of making Camp Creek a Patriot Golf Day site,” says Jaxon Hardy, head golf professional. “The event allows golfers to make a difference in the lives of military families while enjoying one of country’s premier golf experiences.”
The Patriot Golf Day campaign is jointly supported by The PGA of America and the United States Golf Association.

About Camp Creek
Ranked No. 48 on Golf Digest’s 2011-2012 list of “America’s 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses,” Camp Creek has been consistently cited as one of Tom Fazio’s most thought-provoking, aesthetically-stunning design credits since opening in 2001. Featuring a unique “dunescape” appearance, the layout is framed by sand dunes and native grasses. From the back green tees, the course plays to a championship caliber yardage of 7,159 and a formidable slope rating of 152 (one of the highest in the state). Camp Creek’s five-tee configuration, which also includes gold (senior) and red (women’s) tees, accommodates players of all skill and experience levels. It is ranked among the top courses in the state by Golfweek, GOLF Magazine and Golf Digest. It has also been recognized for its environmental stewardship through designation as a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary by the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary System (ACSS). Superintendent Larry Livingston was similarly distinguished as a certified Audubon Steward. Camp Creek is operated by Troon Golf, the leader in upscale golf course-management.
