COLUMBUS, Ohio (September 8, 2010) – Boxgroove (www.boxgroove.com), an inventive, reliable online network offering golfers the opportunity to play private golf courses of their choosing, has added the historic Rio Pinar Country Club in Orlando, Fla., to the list of venues Boxgroove members can play.
“We are proud to include Rio Pinar Country Club in the Boxgroove network,” said McRedmond Morelli, founder and CEO of Boxgroove. “It is a wonderful old-style Florida course where many of golf’s greats have played.”
About Rio Pinar Country Club
A charming par-72 golf course with over 50 years of rich history, Rio Pinar was conceived to be one of the premier courses in central Florida, and its championship configuration continues to offer a true test of golf. The stately course of classic design, an impressive and challenging 7,004 yards from the tips, meanders through mature pine and oak trees with abundant plant life and fauna.
Believed to be the roots of Orlando’s growth to becoming golf’s top big-league city, Rio Pinar has hosted 17 PGA Tour and LPGA Tour Championships, including the Citrus Open from 1966-78 and the Ladies’ Citrus Open from 1979-82. Originally designed in 1959 by Mark Mahannah, Rio Pinar was redesigned in 1995 by Lloyd Clifton, one of Orlando’s most well-known golf-course architects. It remains a club where good players and avid golfers love to play.
“We are delighted that Boxgroove members will have the opportunity to experience and enjoy our historic golf course,” said Nick Dunleavy, general manager of Rio Pinar. “They will walk in the footsteps of some of the game’s greatest players.”
