About this event
Now celebrating its landmark 30th anniversary, the South Walton Celebrity Golf Classic is one of the Emerald Coast's most beloved charity events. Each four-player team is paired with a well-known sports or entertainment celebrity for two days of competitive golf on Sandestin's legendary Baytowne and Raven courses.
Festivities kick off Thursday evening with a gala welcome reception at the Gulf-front Hilton Sandestin. Friday brings a shotgun start on the Raven course, followed by a celebrity gala and live auction. Saturday's final round wraps up a weekend of camaraderie, competition, and spectacular fall coastal scenery.
Spectators are welcome as gallery guests, watching teams navigate Sandestin's manicured fairways with Gulf breezes and October sunshine. It's a compelling reason to book an Emerald Coast fall getaway when the crowds have thinned and temperatures are ideal.
Best for: Golf enthusiasts, charity supporters, fall travelers
