PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

I hope you all had a great holiday season and are ready for a prosperous new year! I'd like to take this time to welcome our members back and lay out my goals for my term as President of this great club. First and foremost, my goal is to return the family feeling of the club, but I'll need all of you to help by being involved in our civic and social events. My second goal will hopefully come as a result of our participation in reaching my first goal. That is to increase our membership and engagement of our current members. Stay tuned for new and returning ways for current and new members to get involved!

Brandon Stanko

2020 President

JANUARY GOLF OUTING

Designed exclusively by Mark McCumber and bordered by the intercoastal waterway, our beautifully groomed Jacksonville golf course offers a unique blend of scenery.
