As we reported earlier, in 2021, the Town of Oro Valley approved a three-year provisional trial to keep the Pusch Ridge course open. Spring 2024 will mark the end of the provisional three years. The Town Council will decide on the course's fate for budgeting and planning reasons in early 2024.
A motion by Councilmember Steve Solomon, seconded by Councilmember Harry Greene, was presented and approved to the Town Council to direct the Town's staff to develop a 'pro forma' document that Town Council members will use to decide the course's future.
FOPRG (and the neighboring three HOAs) were asked to provide a document that would provide our perspectives and answer three questions that (we hope) would be used to help build the proforma.
CLICK HERE to view FOPRG’s response sent to the Town staff on December 15, 2023.
We will inform readers of any Town meetings, surveys, or correspondence needed to help persuade the Town Council to keep Pusch Ridge open after May 2023

FREE Golf Clinic
Troy Jewkes (the PGA Pro at Pusch Ridge) is holding a free golf clinic at 1:00 pm on Wednesday, December 20, 2023. Attendees will meet at the practice putting green (by the 1st tee.)
The clinic will coincide with the Town Council’s course tour. The tours are being held throughout the week to give Town Council members a first-hand view of the Pusch Ridge experience. So, the more golfers that attend this clinic, the better!
Attendees can ask questions about their swing, short, game, rules, etc. Troy hopes to have these lessons every Wednesday from 1:30 to 2:00 pm. It will be a fantastic option for anyone, especially our Prickly Pairs mixed league members, as they will start their shotgun right after the clinics!

Happy Holidays
Santa and Mrs. Claus took time out of their busy schedule to visit the course this last week. They had a blast as they spoke with golfers and neighboring homeowners.
Thanks to Kristy Harvey (Recreations Manager, El Conquistador Tucson, a Hilton Resort), who ‘loaned us’ Santa and Mrs. Claus for this fun photo shoot.
