It’s that time of year again! Dust off those crazy golf pants, avoid the gopher at all cost, and make it out to the 12th annual Murray Bros. Caddyshack Charity Golf Tournament. Hosted by the famous Murray family, this all-inclusive two day charity event is packed full with great golf, celebrity guests, live music, and all kinds of other antics. Everything is included except the hotel and transportation to this once-a-year, can’t miss charity event. Starting in 2001, this special event has raised over $1.5 million for healthcare and education throughout the first coast. This year, part of the proceeds will be donated to The Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation to help further provide equipment and training to fire departments, law enforcement, and EMS around Northeast Florida.

Kicking off Thursday, March 29th from 6:30 pm- 10 pm with “The Pairings Party,” this event is the night for having fun and fundraising! Golf pairs will be picked at random.  With multiple silent and live auctions taking place until 9:30 pm, there is plenty of opportunity to show your passion for fundraising and help the Murray brothers support our first coast. Joel Murray, the youngest of the six Murray brothers, will be hosting the annual LoudMouth Crazy Pants contest, where you never know what you’re going to see. Dinner and beverages will be served Thursday night and the dress is resort casual.

After an amazing night of fundraising comes the golf tournament.

Starting Friday, March 30th, on the only Palmer/Nicklaus designed course, contestant’s tee times will be set for 8 am and 1 pm at The King & Bear Golf Course and Slammer & Squire Golf Course. Shuttles will be running to and from The King & Bear Golf Course starting at 7:00 am from the Renaissance Resort Hotel. Breakfast, lunch, and beverages will be served to contestants as well as live music and contests throughout the entire tournament.

After a long day of golf behind you, it’s time to relax and enjoy the awards party. Beginning at 7 pm and running until midnight, the trophies from the golf tournament and prizes will be handed out along with live music, a DJ and plenty of dancing. Dinner will be provided by the phenomenal Murray Bros. Caddyshack Restaurant with Bill Murray and celebrity guesting jamming well into the evening. Dress is resort casual.

Tickets for the golfing are unfortunately sold out, but you can still purchase tickets for the event parties at $300 per person for both nights. Due to the event and the preparation needed, the Caddyshack Restaurant will be closed to the public all day Thursday, but will resume regular business hours Friday.
