The Lesson Tee Newsletter comes out periodically via Mailchimp to over 600 recipients: golf tips, golf course architecture, Rulesof Golf, course condition updates, etc. Our facility has three golf courses, dining, and the Casino Resort (our sister property up the road).

Our students play the courses, they buy range balls, they stay at the hotel, they use the casino, they eat and drink here, purchaseitems in the golf shop….it’s truly a win-win for everyone.
