Best range promotion: Our three best golf range promotions are lessons, clinics, and junior programs. Our junior programs is our largest and most successful program. We have a First Tee Player’s League program that goes for two months(consists of one practice a week and one match per week against 10 other teams from local courses). We have junior clinics twice a week from June – August (covers all aspects of golf from etiquette, rules, course management, instruction, life’s core values, etc.) We have a four day Junior Golf & Adventure Camp that is four consecutive full days. The camp consists
of golf instruction, followed by lunch, followed by an afternoon activity (Ziplining, Rafting, Hiking, Swimming, Mini golf, bungee jump, and wall climbing).

Special programs: Our facility hosts charity tournaments, special programs and events for the Vail Veterans & Wounded Warriors, and we coach a team of local juniors for the Player’s League for the First Tee program of Eagle County.
