SQUAW VALLEY (May 19, 2006) – With summer-like temperatures settling early into the Olympic Valley, and the snow melting like butter, it’s clearly time to begin thinking about stashing the skis and swinging the clubs. Resort at Squaw Creek, a perennial AAA Four-Diamond award winning resort that recently completed a dramatic $53 million renovation, is giving golfers even more reasons to start planning a mountain golf getaway.
Featuring a Robert Trent Jones, Jr., links-style championship course, the resort is offering two attractive, value-laden golf packages, each of which includes unlimited daily play throughout the season (October). Here’s a closer look:
Unlimited Golf Package — Nightly accommodations in a recently renovated suite, plus unlimited rounds of golf per day per guest. The day begins with a breakfast buffet at Six Peaks Grille. Package price starts at $215 (per person, per night).
Putt ‘n’ Pamper — Nightly accommodations in a recently renovated suite, unlimited rounds of golf per day per guest, plus choice of one spa treatment per guest (either a 25-minute Swedish Relaxation Massage or a 25-minute Petit Facial Aromatherapy Pedicure) at the resort’s Spa at Squaw Creek. Package price starts at $265/person/night.
The resort’s par-71, 6,931-yard layout, located in the pristine Squaw Valley meadow, is a prime example of the natural blend of golf and mountain settings. Picturesque scenery provides the perfect backdrop for the links-style course, which is tentatively scheduled to open June 17. The course has been honored as one of the top resort courses in northern California by Golf Today and listed in Golf Digest’s "Best Places to Play" course directory.
Walking the course is allowed and encouraged. The resort’s clubhouse features club rentals and nightly bag storage. Club rentals are available.
In addition to the Robert Trent Jones Jr.-designed golf course, recreation abounds for guests at Resort at Squaw Creek, including:
