Tim Herron

Club Smith / Facility Manager

Born in Ohio, Tim grew up around golf in his youth. His dad played frequently and young Tim was often recruited to tournaments to play along side other family members. After his family moved to Arizona, golf often took a back seat during his young adult life, but that all changed when he moved to SOMD and was offered a job at Above Par. He immediately took the reigns as the Facility Manager and quickly honed his equipment repair skills and began tinkering in the Pro Shop in his down time. Tim now creates his own custom clubs and has become one of the more knowledgeable Above Par employees, Ryan constantly receives compliments on Tim’s friendliness and willingness to help. When he’s not at Above Par you can find him on any of the local courses, and he’s always looking for playing partners!
