Last September 28th The Gasparilla Inn & Club was devastated by Hurricane Ian, however, after much clean and full golf course renovation, the resort is back and better that ever! Our SFGA members will return to Gasparilla Lodge and Club once again. This is a terrific destination featuring Historic Ambiance and Southern Charm at an elite island resort. Our last visit was in 2021 and our SFGA members practically took over the entire hotel. We also sold out in 2018 so we recommend that you register early for this one, as we expect to sellout once again.
