Callaway Resort & Gardens hosts the 64th Masters Water Ski & Wakeboard Tournament at Robin Lake Beach during Memorial Day Weekend. Guests immerse themselves in three action-packed days of entertainment and adventure as they witness the most prestigious watersports event in the world while also kick-starting the summer season with an exciting weekend full of aquatic activities, live concerts on the beach, Aqua Island – a thrilling floating obstacle course on the water, and nightly fireworks.
“With three days and three nights of live concerts on the beach, fireworks and various outdoor recreational activities like our Aqua Island inflatable obstacle course on the water - our Memorial Day Weekend provides visitors exciting reasons to get outside and play during this kickoff to the summer season,” says Chris Lutz, Callaway Resort & Gardens Vice President & General Manager. “We’re also thrilled to host such a world-renowned watersports competition right on the shores of Robin Lake Beach as we have done for the past 64 years.”
