PEORIA RIDGE GOLF COURSE

As the 2008 season approaches and the days get warmer, the staff of  Peoria Ridge prepares for what we hope will be our best year ever.

Marketing - We continue to promote Peoria Ridge in local and regional print, radio, and television advertising.  We also continue to use the internet as both a marketing tool and a means for golfers to make tee times.  Our website, www.peoriaridge.com, and also www.golfnow.com, both provide special internet savings and allow golfers to make advance tee times.  We will also be advertising on the Buffalo Run mail out each month which is mailed out to a 100 mile radius.

Memberships - Anyone who has visited the course recently has noticed the landscape is changing quickly.  Homes are going up and we are certian this will translate to more memberships.  Our membership prices continue to be a great value and this will be very attractive to the avid golfer looking to build.

Tournaments - All of our major tournaments are returning this year and these events continue to bring a wide range of area golfers to Peoria Ridge.  In addition, several new groups have scheduled their golf outings here.  The cornerstone of our events this year will again be the NGA Hooter's Buffalo Run Casino Classic, June 16th - 22th.  With Buffalo Run Casino on board again this year, our sixth year of this NGA event will be the best year.

Stay and Play - In addition to the Buffalo Run Casino lending their name to our NGA Hooter's event, we are also working closely with them in creating packages which will allow players to enjoy gaming and golf.  Buffalo Run is currently purchasing rounds of golf from us which they are using as Player's Pool incentives to their blackjack players.  This is helping us bring many new faces out to the course.  As our area evolves into a tourist destination, this will bring a whole new market of golfers here.  We also offer an attractive stay and play package with the Best Western hotel and are wokring with other area hotels to make Peoria Ridge a vistior's best option when they look for a golf course.

We continue to offer the finest public golf course in the Four-State area.  Our reputatioon continues to expand as golfers travel to play our facility.  We would like to thank all Peoria Tribal Members for their continued support as we continue to strive to make Peoria Ridge a profitable enterprise.
