Chad Neal was born and raised in Western New York. Worked as a bartender for 28 years in Ellicottville before finding his destiny of building and opening his first park golf course in Ellicottville. Born in 1974 his loyalty to his community comes from those years of being part of it. His grand opening party was held with a charity involved and he plans on doing charity events all the time at Bigfoot Park Golf. Opened in May 2024, Bigfoot is a fledgling course but it’s gaining traction. Nestled in the valley between the village of Ellicottville and Ashford Junction the rural setting at Ellicottville Distillery makes it an ideal spot for this new and emerging sport in America. Nothing to fear here; because Chad and Bigfoot are proud to be part of the Park Golf movement of North America.
Course owner of Rines Creek Park Golf in Rines Creek Nova Scotia, Canada. His vision began one Sunday morning while watching park golf videos on the internet. The idea of taking his rough unused farm pasture and adding his love of working on the land led him to start carving out a very special 18 hole park golf course. The thought of offering a low cost fun option to the local area as well as being the first in Canada was the excitement to get him started on this fantastic adventure. In October of 2022 he began his dream by gathering a few friends and his trusty orange Kubota tractor and went to work. Many long months of hard work finally paid off and the course was officially opened in May 2023 as Canada's 1st. Park Golf course. Gavin to this day still puts in the effort to make and keep this a beautiful course and property. He loves the game of park golf and is a very valuable North American Park Golf Association (NAPGA) board member and supporter.
