Ohio’s top public-access golf course hosts 9 stars two-man best ball tournament
(NASHPORT, Ohio) – Longaberger Golf Club, which was recently named Ohio’s No. 1 public-access course in Golfweek Magazine’s 2010 “Best Courses You Can Play” rankings, is offering a money-saving special to kick off the summer season.
Over Memorial Day Weekend – May 29 though 31 – golfers can play the award-winning Arthur Hills design for only $69 – a savings of $30. Those with a Resident Pass only pay $59. The Resident Pass was introduced this season and allows golfers living within local, designated zip codes to receive a free card that provides them with $20 off every round (including twilight, 9-hole and replay), 20 percent off non-sale golf shop purchases, 10 percent off clubhouse food and non-alcoholic beverages.
Longaberger Golf Club is a 7,243-yard design with five sets of tees. Defined by panoramic natural beauty, rolling hills and immaculate playing conditions, the course is regularly honored by Golfweek, Golf Digest and GOLF Magazine as one of the nation’s finest courses, Longaberger also was named a Top 10 public-access course in the country in the 2010 edition of the Golf World magazine’s Readers’ Choice Awards.
“The annual kick off to summer is an ideal time for golfers to try Longaberger Golf Club for the first time or perhaps renew acquaintances,” said Joseph Livingood, senior vice president of Billy Casper Golf, which manages Longaberger Golf Club. “With so many value-laden options, now, more than ever, is the best time to experience this amazing course.”
In addition to the Memorial Day special and Resident Pass program, Longaberger Golf Club also offers Weekday and Unlimited Golf rates, a Player’s Pass and Stay-and-Play packages. Details on all rates and offers are available at www.longabergergolfclub.com.
For those looking for stiff competition, Longaberger Golf Club and EagleSticks Golf Club – both recipients of rare 4.5-star ratings in the prestigious Golf Digest system – will once again host the 9 Star Two Man Best Ball Tournament. The event takes place June 5 and 6 and costs $150 per man, which includes tournament entry, greens fees and cart. Call the golf shop at 740.763.1100 to register, or visit www.longabergergolfclub.com.
Longaberger Golf Club boasts a 25-acre natural-grass driving range and practice facility, with target greens and a chipping, pitching and bunker area, as well as a stately 60,000-square-foot clubhouse with elegant banquet facilities, a dining room, grill room and pro shop.
