5th Annual FORE! The Love of Animals Golf Tournament May 9th At Sandestin

The vibrant greens of the golf links at Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort in SoWal are calling for a cause that supports our four-legged friends.

The 5th Annual FORE! The Love of Animals Golf Tournament, presented by Sandestin Investments, returns to The Links Golf Club at Sandestin on Saturday, May 9, 2026. This fan-favorite scramble offers a competitive yet lighthearted way to support local animal rescue efforts.

The day begins at 8:30 AM with check-in, where players can fuel up at the breakfast bar or grab a drink at the Bloody Mary and Mimosa bar. At 10:00 AM, the tournament kicks off with a shotgun start. Whether you are bringing a seasoned team of four or signing up as an individual to be paired with new friends, the scramble format ensures a fun pace of play for all skill levels.

Every registration includes 18 holes with a cart, a boxed lunch, and two drink tickets. Once the final scores are tallied, the festivities shift to the post-tournament "Pups & Pours" awards ceremony. Guests can unwind with hors d’oeuvres, beer, and wine while participating in raffles and celebrating the day's winners.

Prizes will be awarded to the top three teams and the "Most Spirited" group. Skill challenges like "Closest to the Hole" and the "Closest to the Snake" contest provide even more ways to win. The first-place team will walk away with the ultimate prize: a team entry into the 2027 tournament to defend their title.
