FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Braemar Golf Course Practice Facilities, Instructors Honored
Edina, Minn., Jan. 26, 2022 – Braemar Golf Course practice facilities and its instructional staff have once again been given top honors by the Golf Range Association of America (GRAA).
For the sixth consecutive year, the Braemar Golf Course Driving Range, 6364 John Harris Drive, was named one of the Top 50 Public Facilities in the United States. Others honored included
Desert Willow Golf Resort, the Greenbrier, Osprey Point and Pinecrest.
“These public facilities introduced the game of golf to a variety of new golfers, while retaining and inspiring current golfers,” the GRAA wrote of the winners. “Through player development
programming, customer engagement and community outreach, our 2021 award winners should be proud of their efforts in growing the game.”
The GRAA named Braemar Golf Dome among the top 50 ranges in its stand-alone category. It’s the fifth time in the last seven years the dome has captured that honor. Braemar Golf Dome,
7420 Braemar Blvd., features TopTracer Range technology, which offers data-driven practice tools plus the ability to play a variety of courses and against players around the world.
PGA Director of Golf Jay Meyerhoff was selected as a Top 100 Growth of the Game Teaching Professional for the second year in a row.
“This is a great acknowledgement of the instruction program Jay and the golf professional staff has been building over the last few years,” said Braemar Golf Course General Manager Joe
Abood.
The GRAA award came just days after the professional staff was honored with two PGA Jr. League #GameChanger Awards. Braemar’s Jr. League Program, which boasted 132 golfers and had its
own league, was the largest such program in the state of Minnesota in 2021 and among the top 25 largest programs in the country.
Abood pointed out the continual improvement required to receive these honors. Braemar Golf invests every year in its professional staff, facilities and technology to give golfers the
best experience of any public golf facility in Minnesota.
“Thanks to all of the staff at Braemar and the City for helping us build a ‘Best in Class’ year-round practice facility,” Abood said.
As part of the GRAA awards, Braemar Golf Course and its facilities are featured in the January edition of Golf Range Magazine at GolfRange.org.
