Arroyo Grande, Aug. 04, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Hacienda Golf Club is setting the bar for other private clubs during the pandemic – member tee times are booked solid, takeaway dining is booming, and its entire management team is thriving.

Earlier this month 50 lucky Southern California PGA (SCPGA) Junior Tour members attended Hacienda Golf Club for the private "Mayor's Cup" exhibition match featuring Patrick Cantlay, John Mallinger, Jonathan Garrick and Luke List! Followed up with a benefit dinner supporting the SCPGA Foundation, two lucky SCPGA Junior Tour members received scholarships and we can't thank Davis Holman and Hacienda Golf Club enough for the generous support.
