Celebration Golf Club recently hosted its Annual Celebration Town Championship during the Masters weekend. Kenny Nairn, golf director at Celebration, said the annual tournament’s schedule has given the event a new name: the Celebration Masters.
Nairn said Celebration Golf Club gave each of the tournament division winners a Celebration Blue crested jacket to seal the deal.
“The tournament was a huge success. We had a tremendous turnout and a great time,” said Nairn. The tournament was open to seniors, men, women and juniors golfers who live, work or learn in Celebration.
