Overview

Mission

Operation of a recreation association consisting of a golf course, restaurant, and trap range

What it reported doing in 2025

Operated a nine hole golf course, restaurant, and trap range in yuma co. Expenses included a greenskeeper salary, fertilizers and chemicals, repairs, insurance, fuel, and utilities. The association is managed by volunteers for the benefit of its members.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
