Landscapes Golf Management is conducting its inaugural “Lead the Way on the Longest Day” summer solstice program on Sunday, June 21, benefiting On Course Foundation and charities local to the more than 70 courses, country clubs, and destination clubs in the company’s portfolio.
With America averaging roughly 15 hours of daylight during the summer solstice, Landscapes Golf Management-operated properties are hosting a wide range of sunrise-to-sunset activities designed to bring members, guests, and local communities together for a good cause.
Events include golf tournaments, marathon rounds, twilight events, clinics, family games, themed parties, concerts, merchandise promotions, raffles, auctions, matching donations, dollar roundups, and other community-focused activities. Monies collected throughout the day will be earmarked for nonprofit giving.
“Selection of summer solstice day is intentional,” said Scot Wellman, Vice President of Sales and Marketing of Landscapes Golf Management and one of the program’s principal architects. “It optimizes the time to inspire, rally and activate the communities we serve for the shared purpose of supporting meaningful causes and having fun in the process.”
A Program Built Around Purpose
Lead the Way on the Longest Day aligns with Landscapes Golf Management’s core values: lead, do what’s right, find a way, take care of each other, and be the best.
The company is widely known for its culture-first approach to leadership, hospitality, teamwork, and philanthropy. Through this new program, Landscapes Golf Management is aiming to create real social impact while empowering its on-site teams to run successful businesses rooted in service and community engagement.
Supporting On Course Foundation
On Course Foundation uses golf to support wounded, injured, and sick service members and veterans as they build confidence, develop new skills, and create new opportunities through employment, training, and other means of transitioning back into society.
For golfers and non-golfers unable to participate at a Landscapes Golf Management property, direct donations to On Course Foundation can be made online.

About On Course Foundation
With offices in Orlando and London, On Course Foundation helps wounded, injured, and sick military veterans use golf to facilitate their transition back into society.
Founded in 2010 by John Simpson, former business manager to Nick Faldo, Vijay Singh, Bernhard Langer, Nick Price, and winners of 17 major championships, the organization has helped more than 2,000 members gain confidence, education, and employment opportunities through golf.
Education focuses on the business of golf, followed by placement in part-time and full-time roles with leading companies in the golf industry. Many members were first introduced to golf through On Course Foundation, where they learned playing skills while overcoming physical and psychological challenges, including lost limbs, mobility limitations, mental acuity challenges, and other service-related debilitations.
On Course Foundation’s pinnacle event is the annual Simpson Cup, a Ryder Cup-style competition featuring 13-person teams from the United States and the United Kingdom. Many competitors carry impressive low, single-digit handicaps.
