About the Event: The FICPA Annual Golf Classic was created to raise scholarship funds for Florida accounting students currently in their fourth or fifth year of college.
The 8th Annual Golf Classic will take place at Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge and, once again, will be held in conjunction with FABExpo, providing an excellent opportunity for CPAs, vendors, clients and friends to gather for fun and camaraderie while raising money to benefit the future of the CPA profession.
About the Golf Course: Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge - If you are looking for the best golf in Orlando, FL and want to know who has the finest course layouts, conditions and facilities, look no further than Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge and the Crooked Cat Golf Course. The number four ranked Florida golf course by ‘Zagat America’s Top Golf Courses’ is also the host of the 2003, 2005, and 2007 PGA TOUR Q-School Finals.
Crooked Cat is everything you could want in a golf course including significant elevation changes, rolling fairways and large, contoured greens. But with fewer trees, wider landing areas, native heather and mounding framing the fairways, Crooked Cat presents golfers more of a links-style look. It may well be the most naturally beautiful Orlando Florida golf course. You will likely encounter many native species of birds and wildlife during your round, which will be enjoyed in the most tranquil of settings.
Visit the course's website at www.ocngolf.com to obtain directions or get a head start on studying the fairways.
