Upon completion of their round, golfers will finish their day in the Lexus Club located on the Main Concourse, which will be transformed into The Links Clubhouse. There, they will have the opportunity to relax with additional food and beverages available for purchase, watch other golfers along the course and shop for commemorative items. All equipment and golf clubs will be provided by the Padres’ longtime partner, Callaway, with golfers having the exclusive opportunity to sample Callaway’s latest technology.
