RANGE PROMOTION:
There are multiple range ball options we give our customers here at the Golf Center at Lyman Orchards, but the one that has worked the best is known as “20 for $99.” which changed from “25 for $99” in 2022.

For $99 each customer receives an electronic swipe card that houses 20 small baskets. We thought $99 was a nice price point and when you do the math it’s a very good value. This idea has been executed for over ten years and the customers keep coming back for more. When the card runs out (and it runs out faster than people think) they simply come into the shop and we re-charge the card. That shop visit we have found, happens to be of great interest and success. It gives us yet another opportunity to showcase our facility and give exceptional customer service.
