About Allan Ramorini
Allan Ramorini is a California Gold Country Native! His family has lived in Angels Camp, for over three generations. Inspired by a local professional, he started playing golf when he was 14 years old. For golfing privileges, he began working at Greenhorn Creek Golf Resort at sixteen. After playing on the golf team at Bret Harte High School, Allan attended Modesto Junior College in California. As Co-MVP, he was recruited to play for The University of Great Falls in Montana for the school’s first intercollegiate team where he played for two years before graduating.

Allan completed his Class A PGA Professional status in 2010 and is now the PGA Head Professional of Greenhorn Creek. Allan is a true athlete dedicated to the game of golf.
