RANGE PROMOTION:

We promote our range and Performance Center as a premier, year-round golf amenity and a central destination for instruction, practice, club fitting, technology, and player development. Through our comprehensive Finding the Fairway newsletter, we consistently communicate everything available to our membership, including individual instruction, player-development programs, demo and fitting experiences, club repair and regripping services, studio reservations, junior programming, PGA Junior League, Lady Aces programming, and lesson and fitting opportunities. Our recurring “Three Things You Need to Know” section also keeps members informed and engaged with what is happening at the facility. What truly sets the Performance Center apart, however, is the experience we have created around the facility. Each studio connects members to the history of NCR Country Club by recognizing one of the Club’s major championships: the 1969 PGA Championship, 1986 U.S. Women’s Open, 2005 U.S. Senior Open, and 2022 U.S. Senior Women’s Open. Our private studios continue that storytelling with 1954, recognizing the year the Club was founded, and The Hangar, honoring the University of Dayton Flyers, who share the facility. The University of Dayton also has a dedicated team room featuring a TrackMan simulator and practice space.
Throughout the Performance Center, artwork and historical displays tell the story of NCR’s championship heritage. This allows us to promote the facility as much more than a traditional driving range or indoor simulator space. It combines championship history, modern technology, professional instruction, custom club fitting and repair, year-round practice, and comprehensive player development in one location.
By consistently communicating these amenities and creating programming that gives members reasons to return throughout the year, we position the Performance Center as an extension of the overall NCR Country Club experience—a place where members can practice, learn, get fit, socialize, and connect with the history of their Club. That combination creates a golf amenity that is both highly functional and uniquely NCR.

 

SPECIAL PROGRAMMING: Please share any programming you have to keep your customers & students engaged

PGA Hope Basic Training and Graduate Training
Our facility proudly hosts PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere), providing local veterans with opportunities to learn the game, build relationships, and continue participating in golf through both our Basic Training and Graduate Training programs.
PGA HOPE Basic Training introduces veterans to the game through a structured instructional program led by PGA Professionals. Participants learn the fundamentals of putting, chipping, pitching, and the full swing in a welcoming group environment. The program utilizes our Performance Center and practice facilities, allowing participants to experience professional instruction and golf technology while developing their skills and confidence.
What makes our program especially meaningful is the continuation into PGA HOPE Graduate Training. Rather than having the experience end after the introductory program, graduates are invited back for additional instruction and on-course opportunities. Sessions include a pre-round clinic and warm-up followed by nine holes of golf, allowing veterans to take what they have learned onto the golf course while continuing to develop relationships with fellow participants and our PGA Professionals.
The goal extends well beyond golf instruction. PGA HOPE provides an opportunity for veterans in our local community to connect, build camaraderie, stay active, and develop a lasting relationship with the game. By offering a pathway from introductory instruction to continued on-course participation, we are working to make PGA HOPE an ongoing community rather than simply a one-time program.
