DALLAS – Eagle Golf, a leading golf course management company, has promoted Ann Lund to the position of General Manager of Clear Creek Golf Club in Houston, announced Dale Folmar, executive vice president. She previously served as Assistant General Manager.
“Ann has excelled in every position she’s held since joining the staff of Clear Creek in 2006. She is well equipped to lead this facility as its GM,” said Folmar.
Lund began her career as a Pro Shop Assistant at Clear Creek, an 18-hole public facility. She later served as Group Sales Coordinator and Event Manager. In 2009, she became the Food & Beverage Manager. She was named Assistant General Manager in 2010 with continued responsibility for events coordination and food and beverage operations.
“I have had the unique ability to see the golf business from all different perspectives over the years and I am excited to have this opportunity,” said Lund. “I look forward to a bright future with Eagle Golf and I am thrilled to be a part of their initiatives to grow the game of golf for women.”
