New balls are acquired: We replace a significant portion or our range balls every year.

Best range promotion: We have a program that was very successful last year. We believe that offering promotions combining activities, exposes and leverages more aspects of our facility at a reduced price to our customers but adding more revenue for our facility. One of our examples is below:

Double Eagle Deal – this combines a medium golf range bucket with 9 holes on the par 3 golf course for just $12.
Since we are a lit facility, this offer can be utilized from 7:30 in the morning until 11:30 at night on any day. Thousands of these have been sold.

Special programs: We have been fortunate to establish relationships with many local businesses that sponsor each hole of our indoor miniature golf course. Through this sponsorship, we offer them many free visits to our facility during each year of the sponsorship contract. Sponsors have been creative to use this free access to local community groups.
