COLUMBUS, Ohio (February 14, 2011) – Boxgroove (www.boxgroove.com), an inventive, reliable online network offering golfers the opportunity to play private golf courses of their choosing, has partnered with The Club at Hillbrook, a private dining club in the Chargin Valley outside Cleveland. Boxgroove members now have the opportunity to enjoy The Club at Hillbrook, while the club’s members may play the private golf courses within the Boxgroove network.
“We are thrilled to add our first private dining club to the Boxgroove portfolio,” said McRedmond Morelli, founder and CEO of Boxgroove. “When traveling for business or pleasure in the Cleveland area, our members now can visit The Club at Hillbrook for dinner or for an extended stay at this beautiful locale.”
About The Club at Hillbrook
In 1919, the late Edmund S. Burke, Jr., former chairman of the federal Reserve Bank and founder of the firms that later became Bethlehem Steel, held title to more than 500 acres of lush rolling woodlands in the Chagrin Valley, on which he created a 40-room Tudor mansion, fashioned after a stately home he had visited in Kent, England. His home later became legendary and today is known as The Club at Hillbrook.
The Club at Hillbrook offers its members a variety of amenities, including bed-and-breakfast lodging, elegant dining options, cooking classes and other activities, banquet and event planning, a fitness center, a heated pool, tennis courts and special events.
“Until we partnered with Boxgroove, our members had reciprocal access only to a few local clubs, on a handshake,” said Jim Kaufman, owner of The Club at Hillbrook. “Now our members can play almost 300 golf courses throughout the country. This will increase our membership value, member retention and new-member enrollment rates. Our club also will benefit financially through the ability to sell unbooked overnight guest suites and dining reservations. It is a win-win for everyone.”
