(VIENNA, VA) – Compass Pointe and Eisenhower golf courses – owned by Anne Arundel County and managed by Billy Casper Golf (BCG) – have introduced a military appreciation program with reduced greens fees for members of all branches of the Armed Services.
Active members of the military can play 18 holes at either Compass Pointe (Pasadena, MD) or Eisenhower (Crownsville, MD) for $30 (greens fees and cart) Monday through Friday during the 2010 golf season.
“We are proud to show our appreciation to military personnel for their contributions to Anne Arundel County, the State of Maryland and the United States of America,” says John R. Leopold, Anne Arundel County Executive. “We are grateful to the men and women of the Armed Forces.”
“The Naval Academy and Fort Meade, among other installations, give Anne Arundel County a strong military tradition,” says Mike Senneca, General Manager of Compass Pointe. “These reduced rates allow us, in a small way, to give back to the men and women who serve this country in uniform.”
Gracefully routed through 800 acres of Maryland countryside, Compass Pointe Golf Courses – designed by award-winning architect Lindsay Ervin – offer players a wide variety of terrains among the 36 holes of championship-caliber golf, including the links-style North/East combination and the tree lined, parkland-style South/West pairing.
Both courses feature bent-grass from tee to green and the putting surfaces roll smooth and true. While, at times, the layouts may be demanding, lies from the fairway and around the green allow players every opportunity to make a well-executed shot.
Compass Pointe offers a spacious practice putting green and a driving range with both natural grass and mat hitting bays. The Compass Pointe Golf Academy opened in spring 2008 with an extensive player-development program featuring a wide variety of custom instruction for players of all skill levels.
The property houses a full-service golf shop, grille, two pavilions and a new outdoor patio for any size event or corporate outing.
