(VIENNA, VA) – Fernandina Beach Golf Club – managed by Billy Casper Golf (BCG) – has named Damian Brink its new General Manager.
At Fernandina Beach, Brink will direct day-to-day operations, including staffing and training, food and beverage, golf-course maintenance, special events and golf instruction.
Most recently General Manager of a BCG property in Chicago, Brink has been with the company since 2009.
“Damian Brink has a proven track record as a strong leader with boundless energy,” says Michael Czymbor, City Manager of Fernandina Beach. “These characteristics, combined with Billy Casper Golf’s new perspective, means our club is poised to reach its potential.”
In December, BCG was selected by the City of Fernandina Beach to manage club operations, marketing and public relations, human resources, merchandising, clubhouse food and beverage, financial management, golf instruction and special events.
Located in the second oldest city in the United States, Fernandina Beach Golf Club features 27 distinctive holes consisting of North, West and South nine-hole layouts of varied difficulty and design. At par-35 and 3,094 yards, the North nine is the oldest course on Amelia Island, opening in 1956. The championship-length West course’s No. 2 hole is its signature, a par-5 monster measuring 607 yards from the tips. The South nine was the last to open in 1972 and is considered the most scenic. With generous fairways and native foliage outlining each hole, all three nines provide relaxing and enjoyable environments.
A comprehensive practice area with a grass driving range and putting green helps golfers hone their games. Group and individual lessons are available through PGA-certified golf instructors.
Opened in 2000, the well-appointed clubhouse includes a fully-stocked pro shop, restaurant and banquet facilities for up to 200 guests.
