Tampa, Florida

Old Memorial Golf Club

An invitation-only national golf club located on an ecologically challenging site.  Close to Tampa's downtown area, the course exists in a setting of great variety, offering natural lakes, mature woodlands, and open, rolling, former grove land. This walking-only golf course was built for the principals of The Outback Steakhouse restaurants. Ranked # 7 in Golf Digest's 1998 Best New Private Courses, Old Memorial was profiled as a Modern Classic Course by LINKS Magazine in 1999. In its first full year of eligibility, GOLF Magazine ranked Old Memorial as # 68 in the Top 100 Courses in the United States 1999, and it debuted at # 55 among GolfWeek's America's 100 Best Modern Courses list in 2000 and climbed to # 35 on the 2001 list. The course hosted the U.S. Open Sectional Qualifiers for 2001 and 2002.  Old Memorial is home to the Annual Gary Koch Invitational.
