BEDFORD, Pa.-Dec. 6, 2007—Bedford Springs Resort is accepting a limited number of applications for its new VIP Club at the Bedford Springs Old Course, ideal for the avid golfer on anyone’s holiday gift list.
The 2008 golf program allows "Very Important Players" to enjoy complete access and priority to the meticulously renovated Old Course, which reopened this summer following completion of a project that retracted the footsteps of three revolutionary American golf course architects — Spencer Oldham (1895), A.W. Tillinghast (1912) and Donald Ross (1923).
This unique and historic collaboration of golf holes stretches across the foot of the Allegheny Mountains along Shobers Run creek, a tributary of the Juniata River, weaving amid the 200-year-old oaks, serene meadows and marshes of picturesque Bedford Springs Valley. The par 72, which ranges from 5,050 to a maximum of 6,795 yards, features bentgrass greens, fairways and tees, with rough consisting of bluegrass and fescue.
The exclusive VIP Club at the Bedford Springs Old Course includes:
Full, unlimited use of golf course and practice facility prior to play
10 percent discount on all golf shop merchandise
Specially priced golf cart rates of $20 for 18 holes, $10 for nine holes
One complimentary night’s guestroom accommodation at the Bedford Springs Resort
Special invitation to exclusive events including guest days and tournaments
Complimentary monthly golf clinics for junior players within the immediate family
Benchmark Preferred Membership (exclusive discounts on golf, spa treatments and accommodations at other participating Benchmark Hospitality International properties)
The annual fee for the VIP Club is $2,495 for an individual, with a family option available for $3,795. Also, each VIP Club golf program purchased before Christmas will include a bonus 13th month for the price of 12.
The Old Course is open to the public, with preferred tee times reserved for VIP Club individuals and families, and resort guests. For information about the Bedford Springs Old Course, tee times and the VIP Club, call (866) 623-8168 or visit www.bedfordspringsresort.com .
