Our 2026 Summer Plus 21 Premier Golf Program is officially underway, and week one was a total success! ⛳✨

Week one of the 2026 Plus 21 Premier Golf Program at the RMU Dome was an absolute blast. We hit the driving range and then took advantage of the beautiful sunshine with a mini-golf team competition!

Team "Coaches One's" took home the win at -8, with Alec I sinking a spectacular Ace! 🎯 Massive shoutout to everyone on both teams for keeping the competition close and the energy high.

We always have spots available, email [email protected] to learn more.
