Golf Classic

For over 30 years, St. Francis Hospital has hosted its Golf Classic at some of the most prestigious clubs on Long Island. As one of the most well-attended fundraising events in the area, the Golf Classic has become a tradition among the friends of St. Francis, both old and new.

The day starts off at one of the clubs with check-in and brunch and then a chance to hit a few balls on the driving range or putting green before your shotgun start. To wrap up your day, we invite you back to The Creek in Locust Valley to enjoy a fabulous surf & turf dinner and awards ceremony under a tent on the beach.
