Michael J. Durant– PGA Head Golf Professional

Mike’s low round at the club is a 64 and his favorite activity is conducting the Junior Golf Program where LPGA tour stars Michele Redman and Tammie Green began their careers. Mike, who has 2 daughters; Jenna and Jessica, enjoys most the relationships he’s developed with members, co-workers and colleagues in his 22 years in the golf business. Mike states, “I encourage every person who plays golf to do one thing: ENJOY EACH SHOT. If you do that, you will play golf better than you ever envisioned and you will be a happy golfer.”
