PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

This week at SBMC, we take a moment to honor our past presidents. As your current president, I can personally attest to the sacrifices involved in dedicating our time and talents to lead this organization. Serving as president for one year is just a part of the journey; many of us spend several years in various roles. For example, I served on the board, spent a year as Sergeant-at-Arms, and then worked my way through the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Vice President positions—six years of volunteer service in total.


I encourage you to join us for lunch as we celebrate and honor our past presidents. We'll be covering the cost of their lunch, along with a guest, and holding a brief ceremony in their honor.


Mike Best

2024 President

Eagle Harbor Golf Club

2217 Eagle Harbor Pkwy, Fleming Island, FL 32003

(904) 269-9300


Eagle Harbor Golf Club in Fleming Island, Florida, is set amidst a forest of 60-foot pines. The 18-hole Course, designed by award-winning course architect Clyde B. Johnston, features rolling Bermuda grass fairways, multi-tiered TifEagle Greens, and both grass and fine, white sugar sand bunkers.


Eagle Harbor Golf Course incorporates water in many ways. Situated between Black Creek and Doctors Lake (and just beyond that, the St. Johns River), this 18-hole Course is one of the most charming in the region. The Course is laid out within the grounds of the Eagle Harbor Community, which lies on the southeastern shore of the lake. Players are offered stunning vistas of natural elements in the Florida landscape, including a favorite spot on the Eagle Harbor Golf Course: the island green. This impressive feature captures the essence of the classic Florida Golf Course and provides an exciting, yet fair challenge to golfers of all levels. It’s part of what makes playing here so special and memorable.


We have four tee times booked– 9:18/9:27/9:36/9:45 am
