What We Do

The Friends of Pusch Ridge Golf (FOPRG) is a volunteer 501(c)(3) organization located in Oro Valley, Arizona. Our primary mission is to increase play and help preserve the Pusch Ridge Course to make it a viable asset for the Town of Oro Valley.

 

FOPRG’s Board and Advisors are comprised of business, marketing, and advertising people with over 70 years of experience and expertise. These dedicated individuals contribute countless hours every week to help ensure the success of the Pusch Ridge Golf course.

 

We work tirelessly and use your donations to provide both ‘visible’ and ‘behind-the-scenes’ activities.

 

Visible activities

 

Activities in this category are ones in which we interact face-to-face with the public to promote the course. You may see us in person as we host our golf tournaments, hand out flyers, maintain the course practice nets, or repair divots.

 

Some examples of our visible activities include:

  • Hosting two tournaments per season 

  • Hosting community events

  • Managing and conducting four weekly golf leagues

  • Improvements to the course

  • Restocking hotel guest brochures and flyers

  • El Con Golf Grounds Committee representation

  • Pro Shop enhancements include:

    • New tables and chairs outside the pro shop

    • Inside pro shop decorations

  • Developing and sending monthly e-newsletters

  • Setting up special pricing for local restaurants to offer all-day happy hour pricing

  • Supporting local youth golf events

​

Behind-the-scenes activities

Contrary to our visible activities, we spend countless hours behind-the-scenes to promote play on the course. These activities are ones in which you may not see us, but we are working hard!

 

Examples of our behind-the-scenes activities include:

 

  • Bi-monthly and quarterly meetings with the Town and course management teams

  • Creating, planning, and implementing marketing strategies and programs

  • Meeting with hotels and resort staff to promote hotel guest special golf rates

  • Board and Advisors bi-monthly meetings

  • Designing, creating, and producing various types of marketing collateral

  • Building and maintaining the FOPRG website

  • Creating relationships with the Town of Oro Valley Council and Arizona Golf Alliance

  • Creating, planning, and implementing social media campaigns

  • Contributing funds for grass seed on hole #4

  • Being an active member of the Oro Valley Chamber of Commerce

  • Attending and speaking at relevant Town of Oro Valley Town Council meetings

  • Collecting player survey data and sharing results with the Town and course manager
