The Yorkville Chamber’s 22nd Annual Golf Outing at Blackberry Oaks Golf Course was once again a tremendous success! Participants enjoyed a seamless and fun-filled day of golf, complete with mulligans, yardsticks, on-course games, lunch, dinner, drink coupons, and refreshments at the 19th hole — all included as part of the experience.

The celebration continued into the evening with a delicious Master’s Buffet at The Oaks Grille, offering the perfect close to an unforgettable day.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to our incredible volunteers whose dedication and hard work brought the entire event together so smoothly.

We’re also deeply grateful to the many local businesses and organizations that sponsored and supported the outing. Your generosity helped create a memorable experience for all who attended.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this year’s Golf Outing a day to remember!
