Acclaimed Western Maryland Resort, a AAA Four Diamond Property, Receives National Acclaim from Corporate & Incentive Travel Magazine
(CUMBERLAND, Md.) – Rocky Gap Lodge & Golf Resort – home to the state’s only Jack Nicklaus Signature-designed golf course – today announces Corporate & Incentive Travel Magazine has honored the facility with its prestigious Greens of Distinction award. This marks the fourth time Rocky Gap has received the highest commendation.
For the Greens of Distinction, subscribers select hotels, resorts and conference centers that are committed to their golf courses, meeting facilities, food and beverage offerings and consistent customer service. The winners received high marks in overall facilities and amenities, hospitality, golf course conditions and design, tournament and teambuilding arrangements and golf staff assistance.
"We are extremely proud of all we do here at Rocky Gap Lodge & Golf Resort and accepting awards such as the Greens of Distinction provides further evidence that we have our guests in mind in every aspect of the resort," says General Manager Tim Grambley. "Whether it’s on the golf course, in the restaurants, spa or with our corporate and meetings guests, we’re committed to excellence."
Winners of the Greens of Distinction award were determined as a result of an open ballot issued with the May issue of Corporate & Incentive Travel. Rocky Gap is among a very select group of only 46 winners nationwide this year, including Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club and Lodge, Kiawah Island Golf Resort and Walt Disney World Resort. Winners were honored and presented with an engraved plaque at a black-tie gala in New York Nov. 10.
