Elyria, Ohio (July 25, 2017) – Valley of the Eagles Golf Club, the only Nicklaus Design daily-fee course in Northern Ohio, will open for exclusive preview rounds beginning on Saturday, August 5th, 2017. Set on the site of the former Spring Valley Country Club, Valley of the Eagles has been completely redesigned by the team from Nicklaus Design, considered the industry leader in golf course design, to fully capture the beauty of the Black River Valley, tranquil surroundings and breathtaking elevation changes. Troon®, the leader in golf course management, development, and marketing has been selected to manage and operate Valley of the Eagles.
During this exclusive preview window, the golf course will be the only operation open at Valley of the Eagles. Full clubhouse operations are expected to begin in August, as crews are putting the finishing touches on an expansive 24,000-square-foot clubhouse renovation. When complete, the Valley of the Eagles clubhouse will include an exciting new food and beverage offering known as the Black River Tavern, a fabulous venue for sports events and social gatherings, complemented by state-of-the-art golf simulators for year-round and multi-course enjoyment.
“This sneak peek will be a great opportunity for Cleveland-area golfers to see and play the new Valley of the Eagles Golf Club,” said Ray Metz, general manager, Valley of the Eagles. “We’re really excited about the work the Nicklaus Design team, led by Design Associate David Savic, has done here and are confident that with Troon’s proven agronomic and service-level standards, golfers will thoroughly enjoy the experience offered by Valley of the Eagles.”
The new Nicklaus Design course plays to a par of 72 and measures 7,015 yards from the tips. The course meanders through Black River Valley and along the Black River, with mature elm, oak and ash trees lining the fairways.
Valley of the Eagles is conveniently located at the intersections of highways 90, 80 and 57 – just 25 miles west of downtown Cleveland – in the beautiful Black River Valley, on the border of Cuyahoga and Lorain counties. Daily-fee rates at Valley of the Eagles will range from $35 to $60 and will include a golf cart. In addition, Valley of the Eagles is offering an annual pass program, which will provide golfers with course access for the remainder of 2017 and all of 2018.
