Guinle, Sexton, Thorne earn individual awards
(HILLSBOROUGH, NJ) – Royce Brook Golf Club – managed by Billy Casper Golf – was named “Facility of the Year” and Dan Guinle was named “General Manager of the Year” for 2012 during the company’s annual corporate conference in Tampa, FL.
In winning “Facility of the Year,” Royce Brook was recognized for all-around achievement in guest service, operations, course conditions and financial returns.
Guinle earned the award as the general manager – among more than 140 in the BCG portfolio – who exhibits above-and-beyond performance in all areas of club management, staff development, guest experiences and business results.
In addition, the Royce Brook sales team of Lynn Sexton and Jen Thorne won “Sales Team of the Year.” Their success was partially attributed to appearing on and winning TLC’s “Four Weddings.”
Golf legend and company namesake Billy Casper, a member of the PGA and World Golf halls of fame, presented the top awards in front of more than 350 general managers, directors of golf, course superintendents, sales managers and BCG support personnel.
“This is a tremendous honor for Royce Brook,” says Guinle. “It’s testament to our talented on-site and regional support team that delivers excellent golf and social experiences for members and guests.”
Royce Brook’s East Course plays to a par 72 and 6,946 yards from the tips with a parkland-style layout surrounded by wetlands and wild native grasses. The course features challenge even the most experienced players with abundant wooded areas, traditional shallow bunkers and wide fairways.
The West Course is restricted to member play and, at par 72 and 7,158 yards, is a rugged links-style layout with open terrain, fescue grass and dramatic bunkering.
Royce Brook also boasts the highly regarded Academy of Golf which offers a personalized curriculum, state-of-the-art equipment and a 24-acre practice facility. In addition, climate-controlled classrooms host for lectures, video reviewing and “chalk talks.”
Three distinct restaurant venues complete the experience. Casual outdoor dining is available at the Tavern on the Tee, the Veranda Grill offers sweeping views of the golf course and the Event Pavilion is perfect for weddings, outings and other social engagements.
