Both courses are rated in the top courses in the Pacific Northwest and have hosted multiple championships.

“Simons was instrumental in placing me at the Nicklaus Academy at Pronghorn as its Director of Instruction. Ted and I did some business together when we both lived in Utah. Even though I had a great job at a solid golf course and was the Utah PGA Section Teacher of the Year, the opportunity to be part of something new and first-class, which Pronghorn is, could not be passed up. I jumped at the offer and moved my family to Bend, Oregon. Ted’s insight into marketing, operations, programming, teaching technologies and promotions made my transition all the more seamless. And the Academy building...well it had everything an instructor could ever dream of.”
