It’s the perfect mix for a lively day out!
From Dreams to Reality—Using Local Talent
When it comes to making this vision a reality, the talented folks over at Osterer Construction Co., based right here in Saint Johns, are on the job. They’re all set to work their magic and turn this space into a golfer’s paradise.
