Gila River Sand & Gravel had their seventh annual golf tournament this year at San Marcos Golf Course and as one of the organizers, I can honestly say it was our best yet! I began working with Nick Lacy in February discussing what GRSG wanted at the tournament from the golf, the food, the raffle prizes, etc. The food was wonderful, the course was in great shape and they stored our raffle prizes until it was time to put them on display. Nick listened to all our needs and concerns and this was our biggest and best tournament yet!

San Marcos Golf Resort is a wonderful venue for an amazing golf event. Our host and golf pro Nick Lacy was always available for meetings and questions before, during and after our events. We had a couple events, one personal and one non-profit, both exceeding our expectations and were highly acclaimed by our members and clients long after the event. Thank you, San Marcos, for the professional and beautifully manicured course! You’ll be seeing us again!!
