Best range promotion: One example is our Junior Player Training program. For our better players, we utilize the practice facility in ways we don’t usually. We create competitive games such as:
1. 5-10-15 foot game on Learning Center putting green
2. up and down with a partner on both of our short game greens, from 9 selected areas
3. closest to the hole from our short game area hitting down onto the range to one of our target greens.

Special programs:
