(TALLAHASSEE, Fla.) – SouthWood Golf Club – the award-winning Fred Couples and Gene Bates-designed course owned by The St. Joe Company and managed by Billy Casper Golf – announces a series of programs honoring U.S. service members.
In honor of Memorial Day, SouthWood will offer active-duty and retired military with valid ID a special $26 rate (includes green and cart fee) every Monday through Thursday in May.
The course will also donate $1 from every round played in May to the Wounded Warriors Project, providing programs and services to severely injured service members during their transition from active duty to civilian life.
