Golf Tournament
As golf clubs go, Ocean Reef Club’s traditions go back more than half-a-century to 1955, when the first 9-hole course opened. Today the Club boasts two 18-hole courses, a rarity in the Florida Keys – even among standard golf clubs.
Although the Hammock Course and the Dolphin Course offer distinctly different tests of golf, both feature scenic vistas and an enjoyable challenge for players of all levels.
Your NCA Golf Outing registration fee includes greens fees, golf cart fees, breakfast, scoring and prizes for gross and net. Transportation sponsored by Club Car.
About our Host
The Ocean Reef Club began as a small fishing camp in 1948 and over the years grew as the Members wanted to spend more time and expand their activities beyond the wide array of fishing options to include golf, tennis, yachting, dining, flying, shopping, swimming and much, much more.
Today, the land the Club occupies is approximately four miles long and a mile wide. This encompasses 2500 acres. However a portion of this land also includes a national wildlife sanctuary so in addition to the planned landscaping throughout the Club there is an abundance of wildlife in the form of majestic and tropical birds.
There are over a dozen options for dining, snacking, drinking, watching sports, listening to music, dancing, relaxing and enjoying good company. From local seafood and vegetables grown right down the road to internationally acclaimed chef wine dinners the array of dining options is limitless.
