Best range promotion: Our third annual Birthday Bash. It was comprised of a Demo Day with all the major club manufacturers. We had a wide variety of local vendors with free food, golf training aids and accessories, free massage therapy, putting, chipping and closest to the pin contests, music and games for the kids. We had about 400 guests attend.

Special programs: We are very proud to be part of the Chi Chi Rodriguez Youth Foundation and home of The First Tee of Clearwater which brings local kids to our facility every week. We had 300 kids here for our Summer Golf Camp. We also reach different organizations throughout the year with an outreach program to educate the community about our youth foundation and the great game of golf. We also have a Boys and Girls Club after school program, here at the foundation.
