Best range promotion: Our Get Golf Ready promotion was a huge success thanks to the efforts of our marketing team and of course our exceptional instruction team as well. We reached out through both Groupon and our internal database and we had a wonderful fill that carried us from October through May of the this year. All enrolled students had access to an online lesson scheduler so they could sign-up for a clinic online and find out what clubs to bring for specific clinics. Once the students were on property we treated them like family and made sure they felt comfortable and welcome. Our “member for the day” concept worked so well that many of the students wanted to come back even when the clinic series was over.

Special programs: Our junior programs continue to be a big hit with the local community. Our summer and winter programs provide an opportunity for juniors from the greater Phoenix and Scottsdale areas to spend a couple of hours a week at our facility learning everything from etiquette and basic fundamentals, to the rules of golf and how the game is actually played. We have programs for kids as young as five as well as elite one-on-one programs for our advanced juniors. During the clinics we stress good behavior, safety and most of all, fun! Many of the juniors have transitioned into great young tournament players who are ready for high school and college level competition.
