Many of you heard about some problems at the AJGA Event this summer on pace of play issues & course setup.  Essentially, the AJGA interns set the course up TO DIFFICULT. TJGT’s staff of High School Coaches and Horseshoe Bay’s Head Professional have spent great time to overcome any fears that you might have at this venue.  Therefore, we have listed the many improvements that  will  significantly increase your POSITIVE experience at Horseshoe Bay Resort. The golf course changes will be much improved and the resort is offering incredible value to all family members and players for this event FROM NOW UNTIL THANSGIVING. Take advantage of these great improvements and resort values and come spend Thanksgiving with the TJGT. Horseshoe Bay Head Professional Mr. Glenn Lee is an AVID Jr. Golf Supporter and will ensure you the best experience at any resort you have visited.  His staff is 1000% committed to Jr. Golf and  our Thanksgiving Event. WE WILL ALSO HAVE SOME FUN FAMILY ACTIVITES AT THE EVENT AS WELL.
