Best range promotion: Our most popular event we hosted on the range was our super bowl flag football extravaganza. Not only could members hit golf balls, but we also painted a 50 yard football field in which members could bring the entire family out to play. It brought quite a few women and children down to the range to expose them to golf that normally did not previously play golf.

Special programs: We have teamed up with Hank Haney golf at our academy to promote junior golf. They were able to provide various levels of junior camps and events for kids of all ages and abilities.
