The Lake Shastina golf layout is best known as the last golf course that father and son duo Robert Trent Jones, Sr. and Jr. designed together. Lake Shastina is consistently rated among the Top 10 golf course resort destinations in the Northern California market. "Lake Shastina is one of the great golf destinations in Northern California but is largely a best-kept secret. The Jones family did an exceptional job laying out the golf course and the scenery is absolutely incredible," notes Steve Harker, CEO of Touchstone Golf. "Our role is to continue to improve on the professional management of the facility, while providing an exceptional guest experience for our members and visitors. As always, we will bring additional sales and marketing resources to help bring the resort to a higher level of visibility for golfers throughout Northern California and Southern Oregon." Originally opened in 1973, the Lake Shastina Golf Resort offers the stunning backdrop of Mount Shasta along with a wide range of recreational activities in the area. The golf course offers stay and play packages at on-property lodging facilities. Boating, fishing and water skiing are popular diversions in the area. Touchstone intends to focus its efforts on letting more golfers know about this best kept secret in the Northern California marketplace.

The Company was formed in early 2005 and currently provides full services management for three facilities, Avery Ranch Golf Club (Austin, Texas), Painted Dunes Desert Golf Course (El Paso, Texas) and Lake Shastina Resort and Golf Club (Weed, California).
