15 years ago room mates and horrendously average beginner golfers Micky and Kiwi stood on the short Par 3 Hole 6 drinking a few cold one’s and dreamt about how epic it would be to ‘own the place’. Fast forward to October 12 2023, and with the great support of the Airport Execs and backing of the County Board of Supervisors it finally became a reality with the launch of Skylinks at Buchanan Fields – and we’ve been full throttle ever since.
Alongside our passionate staff that we’ve assembled our team truly is a family affair with Micky’s mother and co-owner Mary leading the back of house operations, Micky’s dad Chris setting up the workshop, and Kiwi’s father in law ‘El Presidente’ all getting hands on from Day 1.
We have a LOOOONG way to go with our plans but we all have a simple mission to help make ‘Buchanan Better’ 1% every single day. As we try and test ideas we’ll no doubt continue to make mistakes, but we have no fear in failing forward to help reshape a better future for a place that we love so much.
This golf course was first opened almost 70 years ago in 1955 and with us now rebuilding it’s foundations we want to get setup to serve our awesome community for the next 70.
Thanks for supporting our journey.
