Tom Zierenberg Memorial Golf Tournament

In memory of our dedicated Food Sciences Section Chair, ACIL continues its tradition with the third annual Tom Zierenberg Memorial Golf Tournament at the Miami Beach Golf Club.
Originally opened as Bayshore Golf Course in 1923 as part of pioneering developer Carl Fisher's ambitious Alton Beach subdivision that was designed to lure wealthy winter residents from New York, Indianapolis and Detroit.
The City of Miami Beach hired Arthur Hills/Steve Forrest and Associates for the latest and most extensive transformation. The once tired and under-utilized Bayshore has now become the elegant and highly regarded Miami Beach Golf Club.
The result is a beautifully restored landmark that will be enjoyed by South Florida residents and visitors from around the world for years to come.
