For the first time, the Kissimmee Family Golf Classic hits the green in a 54-hole tournament just for families. This event features a lineup of luxury, all-star golf courses and a host of amazing accommodations for your family fairway getaway. Show off your skills and make some memories with the little athletes in your family, June 20–23, in Kissimmee, Florida.

 

This is an event for all ages, whether the kids want to caddy, play on the green or just watch. Entry costs $799 per teams of four and tournament rounds will be held at the Nicklaus and Watson Courses at Reunion Resort and Celebration Golf Club — both premier venues and famous in the U.S. golf world. Make it a real luxury family affair and upgrade with a VIP package, including daily breakfast and lunch and on-course contests.

 

Now, it’s not all golf all the time, you have to unwind and relax at some point. Luckily for families attending and participating in the tournament, partner accommodations include Reunion Resort, Fairfield Inn & Suites, Meliá Orlando Suite Hotel, Red Lion Hotel, Seralago Hotel & Suites and the casual digs of Days Inn Kissimmee. Players receive discounted family rates.

 

For families staying at Reunion Resort, this luxury option offers all-ages amenities, including a waterpark, six unique restaurants and a fitness center.

If convenience is your thing, Fairfield Inn & Suites Orlando Kissimmee/Celebration is within walking distance of the tournament’s courses and a short drive from nearby theme parks.

 

For the family that wants to stay and play together, Meliá Orlando Suites Hotel at Celebration is a home away from home for the whole crew. These two-bedroom suites offer a cozy, family accommodation option, but still with room to spread out. Get away for some free time at the nearby AdventHealth Wellness Center, a short walk from the property.

 

With modern touches and on-site Mexican dining options, The Red Lion Hotel Orlando-Lake Buena Vista South is a great family stay option — whether you’re just observing or playing in the tournament. You can lounge in the resort’s lazy river and take in the relaxing Floridian vibes.

 

With easy access to local shops and the fun dining of Old Town Kissimmee, the Seralago Hotel & Suites Main Gate East is a short drive from all the tournament host courses.

 

For no-fuss comfort and convenience, you can’t go wrong with the Days Inn Kissimmee. See if your family is up for the tournament and read through the rules and registration here.

 

If you choose to extend your stay and see what’s happening in downtown Kissimmee, or just find time between events, there’s so much to do in town for the whole family. Take advantage of the easy access to theme parks, local restaurants and sunny outdoor adventures.
