2024-2025

"It has been our favorite trip as a group for the best part of 6 years the Tommy Thomas Pro Ams. From when you arrive at the resort, everything has been looked after by Tommy and his staff. If you need something extra or forgot something, the staff and facility staff can't do enough for you. The accommodations are excellent, the meals superb and each night has a theme which we all look forward to. Due to Covid, the Canadian contingent has not been able to travel. We can't wait for 2022 to return to Tucson or Las Vegas to compete and have fun playing the great courses. Thanks Tommy...  Keep up the great work!"  

Tommy, Jeff & Staff,

I have brought my clients to Tommy Thomas events the past 3 years. Three events in Las Vegas and two in Tucson. Both venues were an awesome experience for my team and myself (already have a few teams ready to go back again). The events are run so professionally it makes my team feel like a very special guest of the tournament. From the first class hotels, golf courses and an abundance of food choices throughout the week....and the open bar at dinner is also well appreciated and attended...lol

Thank you for sending me an invitation to these events a few years ago... it’s been a terrific experience for my clients and me. We are ready for the next Tommy Thomas Pro-Am. December can’t get here fast enough!

Kind regards,

 Tommy & Staff,

I’d like to simply say thank you for a great golf trip. My members had a blast! The accommodations were awesome and the golf courses PERFECT!! We gained pounds we didn’t need from all the food and I can tell you plain and simple we will be back for another trip! You guys made everything so easy! Cheers and thanks again!

Spring 2021 Las Vegas Pro-Am

 Although I had heard of the Tommy Thomas Pro-Ams for several years, November of 2020 was the first time I attended one of the Las Vegas Pro-Ams with our club members. I was very impressed with all aspects of the four day event – from the accommodations and golf courses to the dinner parties which included an open bar. Every detail was addressed, so all I had to do was enjoy time away from the club with my members. We not only had one team in the event, but our club’s PGA Director of Instruction Barbara Blanchar also fielded a team. The week we spent with eight of our lady members was both an enjoyable and rewarding time – everyone is already signed up to return to Vegas in November 2021! I can’t thank Tommy and his team enough for hosting a first class event that accommodates both male and female amateurs. I look forward to competing in more of the Tommy Thomas Pro-Ams in the future!

 Tommy & Jeff,

The response I received from my members who joined me for the event was incredible. We are weeks after the event, and the members are still raving about their experience. The food and beverage was high on the list for favorite parts of the trip. The meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner were over the top excellent. The golf courses were fantastic, and the tournament was perfectly organized. A couple of members from my team kept telling me, "We've been to a lot of premier tournaments around the country, and this is the best run one of all of them." My members were tracking down Tommy throughout the event to make sure we would be on the list to receive an invitation to next years tournament. The whole event was first class, and was a great treat for me and my members. We are looking forward to seeing you guys next year!

 Hi Guys,

I just wanted to drop you both a note and truly thank you for such a great week. I know first hand all about the hard work that goes into preparing for a special event like this and I must say you guys got it right. Your attention to detail, little touches and genuine friendliness to each one of my members and all the other participants certainly did not go unnoticed. It’s never easy to please everyone, but I think you both just did that! 

Hopefully this is just the start to many more Pro Ams! 

Look forward to seeing you both soon!!!!

Thanks again,

Our thanks for your help and support during our recent venture in Tucson at Casino Del Sol Resort & Sewailo GC. Our Yellowknife team was thoroughly impressed with the event! We will see you in Las Vegas this fall!"

 "From beginning to end this was an amazing experience! Tommy and his

Crew couldn't be any more gracious! The hotel and Casino are wonderful! Most of all Sewailo Golf Course is AWESOME! The only other thing I can say is that I wish I knew about these outings sooner and I can't wait for next year to play again!"

 Here is what PGA Professional Mike Heisterkamp (a regular attendee of the Tommy Thomas Pro-Ams) has to say about the value of taking golf trips with his members..."The travel aspect is one of the best tools to create a member who is satisfied and vested in the club. When you spend time with members, you get to know them on a completely different level. They also create relationships with other members who they would not necessarily spend time with. Almost without exception, after members travel with our staff, they become more satisfied with their club experience"

 "Hello Tommy, Jeff and Rebekah, I wanted to send my thanks to your team for a wonderful pro am in Tucson last week. The event was very well organized as usual and the whole experience was fabulous. Hats off to your team and the folks at the Casino Del Sol Resort. See you again next year."

Cheers,

Glen Christensen

 "Tommy, I wanted to let you know that my team and I had a wonderful time at the March Pro-Am at Casino Del Sol. You, Jeff and Rebekah thought of everything and did everything necessary to make it a perfect week. It far exceeded our expectations. I will be telling many people about this. But the main reason I am writing today is to tell you how nice you all are. For some reason I expected the guy running this event to be too busy to talk to me at all. But you seemed to go out of your way to speak with me several times and when you did, you treated me like a friend even though we just met. You made me feel much more welcome here than I ever could have imagined. Also, it shouldn't go without saying when someone is positive and warm like you all are, those kind of people are attracted into their lives. That showed by the people who were here this week. I met several very nice individuals and had some very enjoyable conversations with them. Thanks. It was an experience I won't forget!"

Steven Morantz

 "Tommy, I just wanted to thank you and Jeff again for doing an outstanding job on the Tucson pro-am. Everything exceeded our expectations and we look forward to the next one. Please keep me posted on future events. Thanks again."

I know this was a new venue (TPC Las Vegas) for you so I'm glad all turned out well. I always look forward to your events and can't wait to see what you have in store next."

Cory Luke, PGA Head Professional

 "Tommy, I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed playing in your Pro-am last week. Jane and I had a great time. I've played in events such as yours in Hawaii, Pebble Beach, Bermuda, and the Dominican Republic and your tournament ranks right up there with all of them. We know how much work goes into running a successful tournament. It's the attention to detail that you, Jeff and Rebekah commit to that results in such a great event. We look forward to having the opportunity to playing in future Tommy Thomas events. Thanks again for running such a great event.

Paul Kenneson

Amateur Participant: April 2015 Pro-Am

 "I wanted to take a moment to share how much I have enjoyed my experience at Tommy's Pro-Ams. We've attended a couple of times already, and the groups have enjoyed themselves so much that we're working on taking more than one team this season. These are first class events! I have enjoyed the opportunity to bond with our members in an environment different from our normal club setting!"

 "Tommy & Jeff, Thanks for hosting a great Pro-Am. Ryan Polzin (our Head Golf Professional) & I take a group of 8 ladies from Royal Oaks CC in Houston on a golf outing each year and they are still talking about what a great time they had at your event. Everything was first class from the food to the accommodations to the golf course... thanks for a great trip and we look forward to participating in the future!"

David Altemus, President Southern TX Section PGA

General Manager, Royal Oaks CC, Houston, TX

"Jeff and Tommy, Just wanted to drop you a note of THANKS for a job well done and a PRO AM event that we hope will be a part of our playing and travel schedule for years to come. This was the first appearance for TEAM PASTEL out of Crofton Country Club and we had a terrific time. From our arrival where the two of you, as our hosts were present to shake hands and introduce yourselves, through the last evening's festivities and cocktails in your suite, everything flowed. There was no item, aspect or attribute that wasn't considered. No detail overlooked. The course was interesting, in great shape and played fair. The food and lodging were OUTSTANDING, fellow competitors friendly and encouraging. As an amateur, the event gave me a feeling of true professionalism. It was a joy. To those considering participating in one of your events, this east coast contingency from Crofton, Maryland would highly recommend such consideration."

Gary B. Carpenter

Amateur Participant: Multiple Pro-Ams

 "Thank you both for a great event. Our team truly enjoyed themselves. The golf course, the meals, the amenities, the planning and the execution of the whole week was top drawer. We look forward to attending another event next winter."

Vince Cianfagna

CPGA Head Professional, British Columbia, Canada

 "I would certainly recommend this Pro Am to any Professional looking to take some members away for some fun this season! Although the offer may seem too good to be true I assure you that Tommy and Jeff deliver on every promise made. The accommodations are great, the food is excellent and the golf course is perfect for this type of an event. The greens were perfect and it's a golf course that doesn't beat you up if you haven't played in a few months. We brought 3 groups down from Coppinwood (Toronto) during December last year and everyone had a blast. Tommy and Jeff make it very easy on the Pros to simply show up, relax and spend some time with their members as they take care of all the work. I look forward to bringing a few more groups down this winter."

Rich Morel

CPGA Head Professional, Kitchener, Ontario, Canada

 "Tommy... Thanks for a great 4 days! Everything was well thought out, planned and coordinated to perfection. The hotel, the golf course, and the food was all quality. The whole event went way beyond my expectations. You can be assured I will be attending your Pro-Ams on a regular basis."

Jacky Cupit, PGA Life Member, Winnsboro, TX

 "I have known Tommy Thomas for over 25 years and have run many of my own outings with him at Inwood C.C.. My outings were so successful that they were sold out the first day the sign went up. He runs first class events, and leaves no stone unturned to ensure that the participants enjoy the tournament and all the great frills that are included. I sincerely recommend having your next pro am or outing with Tommy Thomas... you will come back again the following year I am sure of that. Remember practice does not make perfect, it makes permanent! By he way he is one of the finest short game teachers you will ever take a lesson from."

Joel Garyn

U.S.G.T.F. GOLF PRO

 "Tommy Thomas and his team made this Travel Pro-Am a most memorable week. It is a very pro friendly event, and my members were treated in a first class manner the entire week. I highly recommend a Tommy Thomas Pro-Am to anyone... you'll be glad you came!"
