WEEKLY MEETING LOCATION UPDATE

Attention SBMC Members and Friends, 

Due to delays at San Jose Country Club, our first meeting at this location will be on  January 15th

Our first regular meeting of the year on January 8th will continue at Epping Forest Yacht & Country Club. 

 
DECEMBER GOLF OUTING

Join us for our December golf outing at Jax Beach Golf Club!

More than a facelift, the new course was designed to delight and inspire long-time club members and newcomers alike. Golfers will enjoy a fun, playable yet interesting design by acclaimed golf course architect, Harrison Minchew. Among the improvements are lush fairways of 419 Bermuda grass and greens planted with salt-resistant Platinum Paspalum turg. The drainage and irrigation systems have been modernized and use 100% reclaimed water along with reshaped and reconfigured holes that enhance playability. Golfers will appreciate more par-4 holes and fewer water hazards. The biggest change is in the finish with the reconfigured 16th, 17th, and 18th greens.
