A new celebrity golf tournament is set to come to Ocean City this fall.
Ocean City Maryland Tourism announced on Friday that the first Ocean City Celebrity Golf Tournament is slated to take place on Oct. 2. The tournament will take place at The Links at Lighthouse Sound, and will be hosted by golf broadcaster and Ocean City golf ambassador David Feherty.
“Ocean City is one of the fastest growing golf destinations on the east coast and the place to go for championship golf,” Feherty said in a release. “I look forward to collaborating with Ocean City to host this exciting tournament and share with other avid golfers why this coastal town is one of my favorite golf destinations.”
Teams of four plus one celebrity will play 18 holes at the Lighthouse Sound course. The tournament will also include a long drive, closest to the pin, putting contests, Hole in One and more, with swag bags, club fittings and manufacturers’ “Demo Days.”
The tournament is set to take place following the Ocean’s Calling Music Festival that takes place the weekend prior from Sept. 29-Oct. 1. And performers from this year’s Ocean’s Calling Festival will participate in the golf tournament, with The Lumineers, OAR and Noah Kahan making appearances.
