We offer programs that are generally found at public golf courses such as junior clinics, summer camps, clinics and tournaments for adaptive golfers and free lessons for underprivileged youth. The course is also available for tournaments to benefit other charitable organizations. The Foundation continues to develop new programs on the renovated course that could not be offered on the property prior to renovation.Expenses $6,903,493 · revenue $4,626,845
