The venue is the beautiful Championship Golf Course on Naval Air Station Jacksonville – a demanding 6,890 yard, par 72 that winds through tree-lined fairways complemented with rich blue lakes. It’s one of the finest golf courses in the Jacksonville area and at the top of golfers’ playlist. Registration is 9am, with Shotgun Start at 10am. A continental breakfast, a post-round luncheon is included along with many raffles and prizes for all participants, rounding out a great program and day of fun!

The goal of the Troops Championship is to “sponsor” our local troops with a free day of golf and well-deserved R&R! Approximately half the field is made up of active duty foursomes and it is a wonderful and fulfilling outing in honor of America’s finest that represent Jacksonville so well.

If you plan on entering a foursome please email rkeller@usojax.com or drop off your completed registration form to either USO Mayport or NAS Jax locations.
