Best range promotion: Our best range promotion this year was when you put $30 on your range card, you received a free round to our other golf course (Lake Park) to be used by the end of June. This drove a lot of traffic to our short 18 hole Par 3 golf course with customers whom had never been to Lake Park.

Special programs: We have 3 separate special recreation groups who use our facility on an ongoing basis. These groups range from all ages with participants with special needs on all levels. We also hold many local organization golf outings at a very low cost to help them raise as much money as they can. All local high school golfers get an additional 25 percent bonus on all range balls for the entire year.
