Star-Studded Celebrity Golf Benefit Returns to Falmouth, Maine, This June

Golf season is finally back in Maine, so it’s time to make the most of it. There’s nothing quite like getting out on the course with friends and family—shanking a few shots, missing easy putts, and somehow still having a great time. Honestly, how can you not love it?

And with the return of golf season comes one of Maine’s premier charity events: the Drive Fore Kids Celebrity Golf Tournament. It’s a fantastic event that brings together stars from sports, music, and entertainment, all in support of a great cause.

The 2025 Drive Fore Kids Tournament was a Huge Success

Coming off a very successful third year of the tournament, which was won for the second time by former tennis champion Mardy Fish, the event also made a tremendous impact by raising over $200,000 for the Dempsey Center and the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital. It’s yet another example of the incredible charitable spirit we have here in Maine.

So, who’s ready for this year’s tournament?

The 4th Annual Drive Fore Kids is scheduled for June 25–28, 2026. It will return to Falmouth Country Club and promises to be a star-studded affair. Tickets can be purchased on the tournament’s website.

A full tournament pass starts at $50, while a daily pass costs $35. There are also tickets available for the opening party on Thursday, where many celebrities will be in attendance.
