A winding layout against the backdrop of the Baytowne Marina and the Choctawhatchee Bay designed by renowned architect Tom Jackson, The Links is the ultimate in risk-reward golf. A shot-makers course, accuracy, and proper club selection are key if you want to outfox the prevailing Gulf Coast winds. With five holes that run along the bay, this is a one-of-a-kind links-style golf outing on the Emerald Coast with spectacular views. And a heart-pounding challenge. Sandestin’s original course is a must-play for golfers of all skill levels.

The $125 player fee includes participation in the golf event and lunch with other FBEC golfers.

The community event during FBEC is historically an opportunity for attendees to join together and give back through a local service project that supports networking amongst participants. FBEC is excited to partner with Friends of South Walton Sea Turtles (FOSWST) for our 2024 Community Event! Dedicated to promoting sea turtle conservation through awareness and education for the residents and the 4 million+ visitors to Walton County, Florida, Friends of South Walton Sea Turtles is focused on locating and monitoring sea turtle nests and overseeing volunteers for the protection of the turtles and their hatchlings.

FBEC Community Event participants will head to a nearby beach to participate in a beach walk clean up and learn more about how their efforts have helped support FOSWST’s mission and protect the local sea turtles.

Inspired by the increasing number of women attendees, FBEC 2024 is honored to host a women’s networking event for female food industry environmental professionals to connect and network.
