Here's to the industrious Pease Golf Course!

Pease Golf Course is “on track to hit 70,000 rounds this year,” said PGA general manager Tim Riese.

“If we got amazing weather for the next three months, we could probably get close to 80,000, which is just bananas,” he said.

Pease Golf Course set its all-time record for most rounds played in a single day twice in 2026. Here's a look at why use is surging.

It takes a community. And, in this case, a wonderful group of sponsors. 💙

street.life!, presented by Sheehan Phinney, is our biggest celebration of the year — our Annual Dinner on September 9 at Water Country — and it takes a whole crew of businesses and organizations working together to make it happen.

We’re incredibly grateful to every one of these sponsors for helping us bring the fun to life. Each plays a part, and together, they make street.life! possible.

That’s collaboration in action.

We’ll continue to give each of our sponsors their own well-deserved shoutout over the coming days, but we wanted to pause and appreciate the big picture: this amazing group of businesses coming together to support the Chamber and our community.

The event itself is about 80% full, so if you haven’t registered yet, now’s the time!
