Best range promotion: One of the most fun and rewarding things we do on our practice range is our Intermediate Junior clinic. This clinic is for ages 10 to 14 who have worked their way up from our beginning Junior Clinic. We meet every Saturday afternoon throughout the months of June, July and August. This clinic introduces the kids to game management.

Special programs: We have hosted several major golf tournaments which bring significant dollars and recognition to the city and state. We have hosted the 1996 & 2000 PGA Championships, the 2004 & 2011 Sr. PGA Champinships and the 2008 Ryder Cup. We also host numerous charity groups for fund raisers each season.
