Wear Your PJs to Gregor MacGregor’s Mini Links and Drinks
Gregor MacGregor’s Mini Links and Drinks is taking part in the fun by offering a free round of mini golf to anyone in their pajamas. The new putt-putt spot offers mini golf, great drinks, and beautiful scenery in Fernandina Beach. Gregor MacGregor’s will soon offer a beachy bar and a patio to enjoy drinks. They offer a range of alcoholic or non-alcoholic cocktails, perfect for a date night or a family-friendly evening.
The mini-golf club is named after Gregor MacGregor, a Scottish adventurer who landed on the beach and claimed Amelia Island for the Republic of Florida. MacGregor’s claim didn’t last for long, but since 1817 he has been an important part of the area’s history. This historical memory makes for a funny story and a great name for Fernandina’s newest golf course.
