What to Expect
Raise a stein and join us for the 3rd Annual Taste of Golf—an unforgettable evening where great food, local flavor, and community impact come together in support of First Tee – Greater Wilmington. This one-of-a-kind event features returning chefs from Cape Fear Country Club, Country Club of Landfall, River Landing Golf Club, Porters Neck Country Club, and MegaCorp Logistics—all bringing elevated flavors and creativity as they look to take this event to another level.
This event has grown so much, we had to find a bigger venue! It is the evening out you’ve been needing and it’s for a great cause, too!
The GFO is a beautiful private venue that will set the scene for an unforgettable evening. Go ahead, we know you want to google it but you’ll have no luck in learning more about it. Trust us, you won’t want to miss this one. This venue is located off of Market Street behind the Auto Wholesale Lots. This unsuspecting venue will make your jaw drop. Still not convinced?! Okay, check out this footage from our 2023 Gala at The GFO.
We’d like to thank Gregg & Freddie Goldenberg for hosting us on this special evening. Their generosity allows us to impact more youth in the Greater Wilmington community.
