Kiwanis 5th Annual Mini-Golf Tournament Brings Friendly Rivalry

HIGH SPRINGS ‒ The Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe held its 5th Annual Kids and Family Mini-Golf Tournament on May 3, 2025, at the Pink Flamingo Diner Mini-Golf facility in High Springs. The community-driven event brought together families, local organizations, and spirited competition, all in support of children and families in the Alachua and High Springs communities.

A highlight of this year’s tournament was the showdown between the High Springs Fire Department and the High Springs Police Department. After three consecutive victories by the Fire Department in past years, the Police Department clinched the win in a dramatic sudden death playoff.

In addition to the friendly rivalry, several community teams competed for top honors. Decades took home first place, followed by The Flamingos in second, and The Purple Cobras securing third.

The event was made possible by the generous support of local sponsors, including Campus USA Credit Union, Waste Pro, Alachua Today Newspaper, Pink Flamingo, Great Outdoors Restaurant, The Kronholm Family, SAS Tree Service, Decades on Main Street, Prohibition Pizza, The Barber Group, Landscapes Unlimited, and Watershed Restaurant.

The Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe extended its appreciation to all sponsors and participants, noting that the annual tournament serves as one of its largest fundraisers. Proceeds from the event support various children and family-focused initiatives within the community.

A representative of the Kiwanis Club expressed their gratitude for the support of its sponsors and the participation of the players saying, “as one of the largest fundraisers for the Kiwanis Club, this tournament plays a crucial role in supporting children and families within the Alachua and High Springs communities.”
