The foundation is currently operating the renovated golf course, which opened in November 2018, under a management contract with a professional golf course management company. 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 will develop new programs after the course is renovated that cannot be offered at the existing facility.
