In 2008, 12 businesses made monetary or in-kind contributions to Lake Panorama National to support the construction of Spikes, the snack and restroom facility located near the first tee. In exchange, the businesses received a sponsorship sign on an LPN tee box. Four of these businesses have maintained their sponsorship since.
The original Granite Club members that renewed for 2024 are Panora Fiber on the third hole, Guthrie County State Bank & GCSB Investment Center on hole five, Exterior Sheet Metal on the eighth hole, and Bryton Insurance on the ninth hole.
Other Granite Club members include R&K Bristle Farms, first hole; Kluster Klub, second hole; Iowa Trust, fourth hole; Hawley Insurance, sixth hole; Lake Panorama Barge Service, seventh hole; Lake Panorama Realty, 11th hole; Sunset Realty, 12th hole; Jensen Sanitation & Pumping Service, 13th hole; The Trash Man – Neil Wright, 14th hole; Robert Carr Insurance Agency – State Farm, 16th hole; Tometich Engineering, 17th hole; and Minnesota Cabinets, 18th hole.
Two holes remain available for sponsorship — 10 and 15. Annual sponsorships are $500. New sponsors also are asked to pay the cost of the sign. Granite Club members receive a free round of golf for a foursome, including carts, when they purchase or renew their annual membership. Club members also are recognized on the LPN website and in the LPN Resort Weekly newsletter.
