Best range promotion: Our best range promotion for the year was our holiday gift certificates. When you buy $50 you get a $10 bonus and when you spend $100 you get a $25 bonus. the bonus is only valid January 1st – March 31st, so this requires them to come back early in the year. We did over $45,000 in holiday gift certificates this year in the month of December.

Special programs: We are part of the Sticks for Kids Program. We have 3 special recreation groups that come to the Golf Center on a regular basis who learn the game of golf. We have a work-study program with Maryville Academy for At Risk kids. Finally, local high school golfers receive a 25% bonus on all purchases.
