SPRING 2013 NEWSLETTER March 6, 2013
We are glad to announce that we are tentatively opening March 16th for the season and that the greens have wintered exceptionally well this year.
We have some specials that we would like to run early this year in order to attract some new members.
- Friends of members that have never been a member at Eaglepoint get to join for half price.
- Any new member that brings a friend gets half price off the second membership
- 12 game punch cards are going for $450. We will pay the tax.
*These deals are only available until April 1st
*There are a limited number of new memberships available
We will be regularly providing deals and specials through our Facebook account, so please check our page regularly for upcoming events and promotions. It’s also a great place to share pictures and stories of your time at the course.
The first Men’s Night is Tuesday April 9th and will follow every Tuesday after that. The first Ladies Night usually starts a week later on the Thursday and follows every Thursday thereafter. Please view our Website for our list events for the year.
During this season we plan to make some changes to the Golf Course. Already in progress is the alteration to the right side of the Fourteenth hole. We plan to add irrigation and transform the waste bunker into three or four pot style bunkers. We are going to be doing work on some of the Tees this year. We want to level and extend the 15th Gold Tee box, level the Tee boxes on the lower part of 16, move tee Red Tee box on 8 to the other side of the fairway and possibly level the 13th Tee. We are also going to make some changes to the driving range. We want to add some target greens and extend the left side of the range by adding irrigation and turf. This, hopefully, will direct shots away from the 10th fairway.
Last year we had a work party called “Divot Night” where Members and guests spent two hours filling divots with sand and seed. This year we invite members and their friends to help us fill divots on May 27th and on July 10th in preparation for the B.C. Senior Men’s Championship (July 29-31). We will hold a BBQ afterwards as a thank you for all your help.
We plan to have four Demo days for club fittings. Two days with Callaway and two days with Titleist. The dates have not been confirmed, so keep in touch with the events calendar.
One of the most underutilized facilities on the golf course is the Clubhouse especially in November and December. We are hoping to promote the facility for any function during our slow times. Please think of us when you are planning a party, meeting, weddings, retreat etc. The remoteness and intimacy of the facility can provide well for private functions. Furthermore, we are hoping to be a destination of choice for businesses and friends to hold their annual golf outings. Please visit our website for options and pricing or phone the Pro Shop at 250-573-2453.
Thank-you for supporting us in our endeavour to become Kamloops’ fastest growing Golf Course.
Sincerely,
Ian Eggleton
