Tioga Golf Club taps PGA Member for top-notch experience


Following successful completion of a $3.28 million renovation of the club house at its 112-acre golf course, Tioga Downs continues to raise the bar for customer experience as it announced the new hire of PGA Class A Member Adam Augustine as Head Golf Professional for the facility.

Augustine comes into the position with over twenty yers of proven industry expertise, as he was awarded Central New York PGA Merchandiser of the Year in 2009; a three-time winner of the Central N.Y. PGA Fall Pro Shootout as well as Pennsylvania Central Counties Pro-Am Championship winner in 2017; and a three-time nominee for Central N.Y. PGA Section Assistant Golf Professional of the year.

Born and raised in Elmira, N.Y., Augustine still resides there with his wife, Shelly.

Augustine has been a Class A PGA Member since 2004, and dedicated several years as a member on the national PGA President’s Council on Growing the Game. Throughout his career, he has continued to utilize his passion and knowledge to still provide excellent educational opportunities for golfers of all ages and skillsets, while providing award-winning golf course operations and a proven track record for increasing club memberships and engagement at his facilities.

Among the successful golf courses that Augustine has managed is the Mark Twain Golf Course in Elmira, which was rated the Number One Best Kept Secret in America by Golf Digest in 2004. The facility was also ranked 25th by Golf Week Magazine on “America’s 30 Best Municipal Golf Courses” list.

Augustine’s commitment to growing the game has illustrated his consistent close partnerships with local municipal leaders, as he has a proven track record of engaging at municipal meetings and ensuring community satisfaction.

The Tioga Golf Club facilities feature a bar and restaurant, pro shop, locker rooms, along with a banquet hall and a full on-site catering kitchen. The multi-million dollar expansion is part of a $134 million investment in the region by Tioga Downs to provide a full destination experience, with casino, harness racing track and hotel.
