Great place to hold a family or corporate event. The food and staff are great. You always have the indoor simulators to add to your event. They offer a lot of variety in what you can do.
Having owned one a few years back, they fill up fast. Good time to get set up while there are open dates.

Hope you get a chance to experience what Highlander has to offer this winter season. Still the place where I try to keep some quality to my golf game in the winter.

Have a Great Holiday season.

A few dates still open for your Holiday party!

The game of golf in a poem. See you at Highlander this fall.
Ed Paine PGA

The mornings have been crisp and clear, the leaves are starting to change. Fall is here! It's perfect weather for golf here in the valley!

Came across this poem and wanted to share...

In my hand I hold a ball,
White and dimpled... rather small.
Oh, how bland it does appear,
This harmless looking little sphere.

By its size I could not guess
The awesome strength is does possess.

But since I fell beneath its spell,

I've wandered through the fires of hell.

My life has not been quite the same
Since I chose to play this stupid game.

It rules my mind for hours on end;

A fortune it has made me spend.

It has made me curse and made me cry,

And hate myself and want to die.
It promises me a thing called par,

If I hit it straight and far.

To master such a tiny ball,

Should not be very hard at all.

By my desires the ball refuses,

And does exactly as it chooses.

It hooks and slices, dribbles and dies,

And disappears before my eyes.
Often it will have a whim,

To hit a tree or take a swim.

With miles of grass on which to land,

It finds a tiny patch of sand.
Then has me offering up my soul,

If only it would find the hole.

It's made me whimper like a pup,
And swear that I will give it up.

And take a drink to ease my sorrow,

But the ball knows... I'll be back tomorrow.

Having been around a simulator setting since 2008, when my wife and I opened our shop, I have always enjoyed the intimacy of playing indoors. Since being up here at Highlander the last 5 years, it has only been enhanced by the way they have set it up for your enjoyment. Then you throw in the best chefs in the valley and you have the complete package. It is an experience that you need to do and not just think about.
Hopefully we see you soon.

It's pretty smoky here in the valley! 🤢 But don't worry, we've got you covered! Come play a round on one of our golf simulators. There inside... out of the smoke!

A great way to spend a hour working on your game or to just have a good time, with a great place to eat. I have been around a system like this for 15 years, it really helped my teaching of the game with the information it gives after each swing. When I came to Highlander 5 years ago, after teaching indoors for 11 years, and I went outside to teach, Mark had to remind me that thing up in the sky was the sun 🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♀️😎
See you soon

Even though the golf season is in full swing, our widescreen golf simulators are still open! Challenge your buddies for a round on one of our virtual courses. Or hit the virtual practice range and brush up on your swing.

One of the best things you can do for your golf game is to know accurate distances for each of your clubs. Our simulators can help you do that with precise distances for each shot you take.

We also offer custom club fitting. We use the simulators to help us asses your swing and get the perfect combination of club head and shaft to match it.

The simulators aren't just for golf! There are multiple virtual sports options, including shooting sports. Shoot trap and s***t, hunt multiple species, and there are even tactical walkthroughs.

With a full service bar and grill next door, the simulators are perfect for events and birthday parties!

Come check them out! Call the Pro Shop to book your time today 509-884-4653

This is my nephew Ben who started Keep It In The Valley 10 years ago. Along with his parents, Bob and Nita, and the many volunteers that have helped them on the way, they have raised nearly $1,000,000 for college scholarships.
Still time to enjoy a funnel cake at the park.
Have a great weekend.

Cakes for College, a non-profit funnel cake stand at Apple Blossom, donates 100% of all sales to fund scholarships for local graduating high school seniors to attend Wenatchee Valley College. Jeff, shown here with founder Ben Paine, volunteers alongside a massive crew of local folks to make this happen each year. Swing by Apple Blossom and grab a funnel cake for a good cause.

I want to thank all of the young men and women we had the honor to help teach and learn about this great game. Also, a big thank you to all the parents that helped make our third PGA Junior League season a great success. Mark, Jacob and I hope to see you in 2023.

Have a great rest of your summer.

It has been a pleasure to watch this facility reach its full potential. Mark and Jacob do a great job in helping everyone with the nuances that the Simulators have to offer. Chalane and her crew at the Highlander Grill make the operation complete.
If you have not come up to see or try the Simulators, then you are missing out on a treasure of the Wenatchee Valley.
Hope to see you up at Highlander this year. They are working hard to give you a great experience.

Ed and Tonnea back, today we are going to talk about wasted motion in your swing. We will talk ball positions. Then backswing to your finish, looking at check points where wasted motion could lurk.Towards the end of the post there are some some thoughts about the s-word (hosel rocket) and raising up during your swing. There are a couple of drills that can be done at home to get the feeling to help with these. Hopefully there is something here that could help you think a little different about your swing. Next post will be about chipping and putting, 67% of your game.

So stay safe and healthy. Enjoy the post... Appreciate your comments.

I will end with my son Scott's favorite one liner from me, I think:)
WHEN THE TIME TO PERFORM HAD ARRIVED
THE TIME TO PREPARE HAS PASSED...

Thinking about your swing now and doing some drills will help you stay loose and get you ready to hit the course when the time comes.

Ed and Tonnea Paine here. We thought we would do a video to get your mind off current life situations and back to thinking about playing Golf. If enough people view this and like it, I will do another in 2 to 3 days about the swing and how it relates to YOU personally.
Sorry lefties from the right side perspective.

Enjoy and please stay safe and healthy duing this time. :)
