The SFMC sells the sponsorships for the tee signs on Simsbury Farms. The monies are part of a segregated fund which may be used for golf course improvements only. Often times these improvements are items that failed to receive town funding or were higher on our priority list of things membership would value. Over the years SFMC has contributed funds for a number of substantial projects that we all enjoy with every round of golf we play. Please be sure to recognize our sponsors of the tee signs with your patronage whenever possible. They make our course and club better every year!
One example of this funding is the plantings on each of the tee boxes, which SFMC has funded each year since 2009. Below is a listing of the Simsbury Farms Men’s Club course improvements’ funded:
