Mark your calendars and dust off your clubs—our annual Golf for Good Works tournament returns on August 12, and we’re excited to once again host this special event at Turning Stone Resort’s renowned Shenendoah Golf Course. Over the past 15 plus years, over $175,000 has been raised to support various youth events, with the goal of supporting agricultural education initatives.
Shenendoah offers an exceptional 18 holes of PGA-level golf set within a breathtaking natural landscape. Designed, constructed, and meticulously maintained to PGA standards, the course delivers both a challenging and enjoyable experience for golfers of all skill levels. Its prestige is well established—Shenendoah Golf Club has proudly hosted the PGA National Club Professional Championship and continues to earn top honors across the golf community.
Among its many accolades, Shenendoah has been recognized as:
Golfweek Best Casino Courses (2018, 2022)
Casino Player Magazine Best Golf Course in New York (2017)
Northeast Golf Magazine Best in New York Golf – Public Courses (#7, 2018)
Golfer’s Choice by Golf Pass Best Casino Golf Course (2022)
Beyond the outstanding golf experience, what truly makes this event meaningful is its impact. Proceeds from Golf for Good Works directly support vital agricultural outreach and education programs that nurture the next generation of leaders in agriculture.
Thanks to last year’s event, we are proud to support the following programs so far this year:
Northeast Regional Intercollegiate Dairy Challenge
Future Farmers of America Foundation - Four $1000 scholarships were awarded to high school seniors who have an agricultural focus
NYS 4-H Foundation’s Junior Dairy Leader Program
New York State Fair Dairy Cow Birthing Center

Your participation helps sustain these impactful programs and ensures continued opportunities for education, leadership, and innovation in agriculture.
Join us on August 12 for a day of outstanding golf, great company, and meaningful giving. Together, we can make a difference—one swing at a time.
