The Kilted Classic
One of Scotland’s greatest inventions – the game of golf – is the focus of our annual fall fundraiser! For over 20 years, we have hosted our Kilted Classic golf tournament which features Scottish fun before, during and after rounds of golf: bagpipers, Highland dancers, Scottish beer and whisky tastings, and multiple Scottish-themed competitions and challenges. Kilts are not compulsory (but enthusiastically encouraged!).
Following all the fun on the links, golfers and non-golfers are invited to join us in the 19th hole whisky lounge and then stay for dinner and an auction to benefit Caledonia Senior Living & Memory Care.
