Caddyshack Restaurant Closes After 25 Years
28 Jun
Summary
- Caddyshack restaurant has closed its doors after 25 years of operation.
- The restaurant was a tribute to Bill Murray's iconic 1980s film.
- Its closure follows other establishments leaving the World Golf Village area.
Caddyshack, a restaurant cherished for 25 years at World Golf Village, has permanently closed its doors. Owner Andy Murray confirmed the closure on Saturday via a Facebook post, expressing gratitude for community support throughout their quarter-century of operation. The restaurant was famously themed around the 1980s film of the same name and was a popular spot for its food and community events.
Long-time patrons, like Alex and David Lopez, shared fond memories, citing the movie as their initial draw. Mark Fallon, a regular and friend of the owner, described Caddyshack as a pillar of the community that survived challenging times, including the COVID-19 pandemic. Fallon noted the strong family atmosphere fostered by the Murray brothers.
The closure of Caddyshack adds to a series of changes in the World Golf Village area. It follows the departure of The World Golf Hall of Fame and the closure of the IMAX Theater. This economic shift occurs while a lawsuit over property development and land-use restrictions is ongoing, impacting the area's marketability.
