Tournament Services Available

1)                   Many events choose to have proximity hole prizes during their tournament (longest drive, closest to the pin etc.).  We can provide these proximity markers free of charge.  We will put them out as well as pick them up immediately after your tournament.  If you are planning on using this service we request that you provide us with a list 3 days prior to your event.

2)                   The professional staff can do your scoring for your event for a charge of $1.00 per participant.  If you select this service we require that you provide us with the format (i.e.: stableford, texas scramble, etc.) at least 1 week before your event.  If your event is to be handicapped we will need a complete list of everyone’s handicap 1-week prior.

3)                   If you are in need of prizes for your tournament we have a fully stocked pro shop that will offer you many prize ideas.  Gift certificates are the easiest way to satisfy all your participants and help cut down the amount of presentation time required for the tournament committee.  These may be purchased from the proton at any time.  All gift certificates will be valid until the end of the golf season.

4)                   We have rental equipment available to all golfers who require it.  We ask that you get a list of all players who will need to rent golf equipment and fax it to the golf shop 1 week prior to your event.

5)                   We offer full service banquet facilities that cater to your group.  We offer a wide variety of menu options for groups of all sizes.  Meal choices and prices are available on the last page of this package.

6)                   The golf course has a beverage cart available to serve your group on the course.

7)                   We have two different areas to accommodate your group depending on the number of people in your group.  Our private sunroom or tournament house can hold up to 60 people.  For larger groups we have an enclosed tournament tent that can seat over 200 people.  These facilities feature a fully stocked bar and dining room allowing you a private and comfortable setting upon completion of your day on the golf course.
