With limited attendance at the Walker Cup, the USGA was able to secure VIP parking for all fans at Florida Power & Light (700 Universe Blvd, Juno Beach, FL). There will be signage and attendants on-site to assist with parking. From FP&L, shuttles will be available to transport you to the main entrance, near the clubhouse. The shuttle ride is expected to be less than five minutes and masks will be required to ride the shuttles. 

With temperatures expected to be exceptionally warm in May, fans are encouraged to dress appropriately. Comfortable shoes and light weight clothing are recommended (short sleeve golf shirts, shorts, headwear, etc.). Golf attire is not specifically required but shoes and shirts should be worn at all times.

Once on-site there will be plenty to keep you busy throughout the day. Upon entry into the gate, familiarize yourself with your surroundings. Seminole Golf Club is extremely fan friendly in terms of getting where you need to go with a very open landscape. Signs will be posted to help you navigate the grounds and scoring and tee times will be readily available at www.walkercup.org. You may follow play and walk the fairways but please keep plenty of distance between yourself, other fans and certainly the players. Marshals and volunteers can help direct you to key vantage points on the grounds while also keeping you out of the line of play, please listen to their directions. 

Please keep in mind that your actions on the grounds help promote a safe and healthy Walker Cup for all, you can help do your part by:

  • Wearing a mask.
  • Keeping a respectable distance between you, players, other fans and those on the grounds.
  • Listening to and respecting marshal directions and rope lines.
  • Waiting for all players to clear before going to your next vantage point, do not crowd.
  • Cheer for a good shot with applause.

While Seminole Golf Club is a fantastic golf course for viewing the Walker Cup, it is essential to be mindful of your surroundings and observant of where play is ongoing. Many holes are parallel to one another and play of one match will often be directly adjacent to another.

Given the warm weather predicted during this time of year in South Florida we encourage you to remain hydrated with complimentary water.
