Latino Institute Golf Club
The Latino Institute, Inc. has, for many years, used the game of golf as a networking and fund raising mechanism.
Institute’s personnel possess extensive experience in organizing domestic and international golf tournaments, and during the last ten years, over 30 successful tournaments have been organized.
We pride ourselves in not only running very special outings at very special locations, but also in making the event, a happening. Our overall goal is to make the experience worthy of our first class standards.
A unique feature of these tournaments is the development for networking opportunities for participating scholars. The students are involved both in the organizing, and running the event, alongside with the Institute’s senior personnel.
The Latino Institute Golf Club is comprised of participating players, our sponsors and supporters. Members receive special discounts on travel and accommodation packages for our local and international outings and tournaments. Our membership list now includes over 100 players.
