LAKE MARY, FL (July 27, 2015) – Timacuan Golf & Country Club will host the Eagles Dream Golf Academy Open Junior Championship this week. The tournament is an official event on the American Junior Golf Association calendar.
The AJGA will conduct the 54-hole junior competition Tuesday through Thursday on the highly acclaimed Ron Garl layout. The public is invited to watch the action free of charge. Tee times for the 78-player field will start at 8 a.m. day.
“We are excited to showcase our golf course and our new Mini-Verde greens to some of the game’s most promising junior golfers,” said Timacuan Golf Director Nate Stevenson. “Since re-opening in September of 2013, our greens have received rave reviews for their consistency. I know these top players will find the course to their liking.”
Timacuan has been among the most popular courses in Central Florida since opening in 1988. It has been ranked as high as No. 14 in Florida, and has hosted dozens of national and international competitions. U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell is among its fans.
“I really enjoyed the golf course,” said McDowell, after playing in the $10,000 Timacuan Scramble in January of 2013. “It is a great layout with a links-like feel to it. It can be testy in places if you get off the beaten path, but it is a very fair course.”
