Enjoy a full game of golf to commemorate the Juneteenth season. The event is designed to showcase Black Excellence within our shared communities and its namesake is derived from the historic events that led to Emancipation and ultimately Juneteenth as we know it today. Virginia played a massive role in Emancipation and its legacy still lives on through nationwide Juneteenth celebrations and commemorative events.
