Join us at Miami Beach Golf Club for the Telefonica 7th Annual Americas Golf Classic. Golfers will tee off at the 18-hole golf course, nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay. Great care has been taken to integrate this course into a spectacular natural setting. Plush fairways and perfectly manicured trees and greens wind through carefully preserved mangroves, gumbo limbo trees and Jamaican dogwood.

The club offers a championship layout masterfully designed by world renowned architect Arthur Hills. Playing at a par 72 measuring from 5039 yards up to 6813, the course affords itself to all levels of play. All 128 acres are covered with seaside paspalum, the finest playing surface available in the industry. Guest amenities include a tour quality driving range, putting green, and short game area.

Tournament Format

  • Men will play from blue tees. Women will play from red tees.
  • USGA rules will govern play except where modified by local rules.
  • Each player will tee off and the team will select the “best drive.”
  • Everyone will play their second shot from this location.
  • This format will be repeated until the ball is in the cup for the team score.
  • You may improve the lie of the ball within one club-length, no closer to the hole.
  • If you play a ball from a hazard, balls must be dropped as close to the original ball as possible.
  • Putts must be made from the same location as the original ball.
  • In the event that your team has only three players, the team will take an extra shot at each location. This extra shot must be rotated so that a different team member takes the extra shot each time for equity.
  • Ties will be broken by match of scorecards beginning with the #1handicap hole.

Join your fellow sailing enthusiasts at the Telefonica Invitational Sailing Regatta. After an initial basic skills training session, invited teams will race their boats in a series of on-the-water competitions. This day of fun, sun, and ocean spray promises an ideal platform for camaraderie, leadership development, and adventure!

Tournament Format

Once out on the channel, competing teams will have the opportunity to help raise the sails and adjust the ropes. Participants should make any adjustments that the captain thinks will help their sailboat come across the finish line first. After a few practice rounds, teams will be ready to line up for the start of the race.

A five-minute starting sequence will signal the official beginning of the race. The objective: to cross the start line as quickly after the starting horn blows without going over too soon. The order in which the boats cross the finish line will determine the first-place winners.
