The Golfing facilities are managed by a PGA golf professional.  Private and group lessons are available as well as a full line of golfing merchandise.

The clubhouse contains a full service beverage bar with snacks/sandwiches.  The facility also contains a large meeting/dining area with a full kitchen.  This facility is rentable to the public as well as members.

OGA was here on May 7th to check the courses rating.  This is something they do to member courses every few years.  They  checked yardages, hazards, etc. and then played the course.  We will be hearing back from them in a few weeks for their assessment. Whether the course rating will be changing is up to them.  However, if it does change, then handicaps will change also.
