PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Dear Members and Friends,


We are delighted to invite you to the Annual Public Safety Awards Luncheon, hosted by the Southside Business Men's Club. This special event will take place next Wednesday at the beautiful San Jose Country Club, where we will come together to honor the extraordinary bravery and dedication of our local sheriffs and firefighters.


Every day, these remarkable men and women go above and beyond the call of duty, often putting their own lives at risk to protect our communities. Their commitment to our safety and well-being is truly inspiring, and this luncheon is our opportunity to recognize and celebrate their heroic efforts.

Join us for an afternoon of gratitude and recognition, as we present awards to those who have distinguished themselves through acts of exceptional courage and service. It will be a meaningful occasion to connect with fellow members, express our appreciation, and reflect on the values that unite us all.


We look forward to sharing this special day with you.


Mike Best

2024 President

Better than ever!


Julington Creek, formerly known as Champions Club, offers 18 holes of championship golf full of surprises and unique challenges.

The golf course was renovated in the summer of 2022. The bunkers were rebuilt with new drainage and sand, tee boxes were laser leveled and sodded, and the greens were reconstructed and then sprigged with TifEagle bermuda grass. While there were some difficulties and delays during the construction process the course is in good shape now and we are excited for the future!

Julington Creek Golf Club features a full-size driving range to suit your practice needs. Also, a large chipping green & putting green are available free of cost. Making this a golfers paradise.

 

We have four tee times booked– 9:06/9:14/9:22/9:30 am

Greens Fees - $57.00 + tax


Book your foursome today at golf@sbmcjax.com or call Angelo Volpe at 904-891-8032. 

We have to get the list of golfers to the club by Tuesday, August 13th.

 

NOTE:  We are having the outing a little earlier in the month because the course is punching the greens the week of August 19th.
