ORLANDO, FL (November 21, 2005) – Eagle Creek Golf Club in South Orlando has named hospitality industry veteran Dawn Lafferty as its Director Of Sales.
Lafferty has been in hospitality sales for 18 years, including the past two at Gaylord Palms Resort in Kissimmee. Prior to that she worked in various sales capacities at Hyatt properties in Carmel, Dallas and Orlando.
"We are extremely pleased to be able to add someone as capable as Dawn to our team," said Eagle Creek General Manager Gary Piotrowski. "Her experience and natural sales ability will mean great things for Eagle Creek in the tournament and corporate outings area."
Lafferty is equally happy to be at Eagle Creek.
"Eagle Creek is an attractive choice for groups of all types," she said. "And this is a perfect place to blend a hobby for me (golf) with my career in hospitality sales. It’s an exciting move."
Eagle Creek places special emphasis on tournament service, with its Five Star Tournament Service program, one that Lafferty will emphasize in her sales efforts. The package was created by PGA Professional Tony Crawford and his staff.
"Tournaments and events are a big part of our business," said Crawford. "We want to deliver a product so impressive and consistent that the groups will return year after year."
Eagle Creek is a fascinating Ron Garl/Howard Swan design located on Narcoossee Road just south of prestigious Lake Nona. The 7,198-yard, par-73 layout is a strategically demanding yet very playable golf course, featuring ample landing areas and challenging green complexes.
Eagle Creek has garnered several awards in its first 18 months, including being chosen among "Florida’s Top 10 New Courses Of The Decade" by Golf & Leisure magazine. The golf course is "Distinctive Orlando Golf With A European Flair." It is designed to blend unobtrusively with the homes in the master-planned Eagle Creek Golf Community.
