Tickets cost $40 and can be purchased online. The proceeds will support the county parks service's purchase of a blue light emergency system, which would consist of small posts with a blue light that can immediately contact police in case of an emergency.

The golf and tennis center is located at 2706 Bouldercrest Road, Atlanta, GA 30316.
