Best range promotion:
Due to the required closing of our facility by the Emergency Order issued of the Wisconsin Governor earlier in April, we were closed for many weeks during normally of what are considered to be our best revenue generating months. To generate cash flow during that challenging time, we decided to accelerate the date of our annual anniversary sale. Normally this occurs in August but we offered a special sale for the last half of April. This advanced helped us have an influx of cash when we were closed.
Special programs:
We are the headquarters for office of the The First of of South Central Wisconsin. By locating their offices at our facility, they are able to easily conduct programming year round with our heated covered outdoor golf range and indoor miniature golf. We provided discounted special rates for them.
We consistently provide support for a wide variety of local organizations in their fundraising efforts. A common donation is a free rental of a Golf Suite. Every year, thousands of dollars worth of activities are donated to various entities of the greater Madison area.
