PGA National's Longest Ice Cream Dessert in Guinness Book of World Records
During its wildly popular “Ice Cream Festival Weekend” (Aug. 16 – 18) which attracted families from all over the Southeast, 1,268 participants helped create a massive 1,249-foot, 10.8-inch ice cream sundae. It shattered the previous record of 670 feet. The victorious attempt may be viewed in this YouTube video:



The sundae consisted of over 1,850 pounds of Luke's Ice Cream, 1,696 pounds of chocolate sauce, 462 pounds of sprinkles, 840 pounds of whipped cream and 1,748 pounds of bananas. The toppings were generously donated by Sysco. A portion of the proceeds was donated to Alliance for Kids.

The packed roster of activities during the three-day festival included an ice cream pairing dinner, Whole Foods Big Taste ice cream social, 50's-style“Sock Hop BBQ,” “Golf Kart Drive-in Movie,” and “Face Freeze Frenzy” celebrity ice cream eating contest.

The legendary South Florida destination is rapidly gaining acclaim for its signature events and festivals including the “PGA Pig Out Gourmet Food Truck Festival” featuring 30 local gourmet food trucks; “Annual Craft Beer and Burger Bash” – a huge hit with area food lovers; “Demo after Dark” – a sunset golf event for men and women touting specialty cocktails, cuisine, instruction and the latest in golf product lines and attire; and its monthly “Girls Night Out” gatherings – a not-to-be-missed social networking and charity function.

“Our full schedule of family-friendly events and festivals throughout the year has become a huge part of our ongoing success,” says David Fine, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “2014 is an exciting year for us as we continue our quest to be the premier golf, meetings and resort destination in the region.”
