No. 1-ranked public course in Ohio pairs with upscale boutique lodging venue
(NASHPORT, Ohio) – Longaberger Golf Club, managed by Billy Casper Golf, today announces its new partnership with nearby Newark Metropolitan Hotel, through which the award-winning course and upscale boutique hotel are offering stay-and-play packages starting at $187.50, including two rounds and one night stay.
Longaberger holds elite national distinction for excellence, currently ranked in GOLF Magazine’s “100 Best Courses You Can Play” and Golf Digest’s “America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses”, and it has been rated the No. 1 public course in Ohio by Golfweek every year since 2002.
Newark Metropolitan Hotel last year purchased the formerly named “Place on the Square” lodging venue in downtown Newark, Ohio, a short drive from Longaberger. It promptly began a major rebuild and now offers 118 completely renovated guest rooms that feature:
• Brand-new walls, ceilings and floor treatments
• 39″ high-definition TVs with premium channels
• Upscale décor with contemporary, American-made furniture
• Plush bedding with Sealy® mattresses
• Alarm clocks with iPod/iPhone docks
• A free voucher for breakfast upon arrival
• A free voucher for a beverage at the on-site Elements restaurant upon arrival
“We know how much traveling golfers enjoy not only high-quality courses, but also finely appointed hotels and great meals,” said Longaberger Golf Club General Manager and Director of Golf Danny Ackerman. “Through our partnership with Newark Metropolitan Hotel, we now can offer all of those must-haves, and yet another option and great value for our guests.”
All package prices include two rounds of golf and one night stay. Room rate based on double occupancy, tax included.
