PRESIDENT’S LETTER

Dear Members and Guests,

Since ClubCorp launched the Signature Gold program earlier this year, we’ve heard from Members about their experiences — and Magic Moments — while using this premier golf benefit that extends a Member’s access to a spectrum of world-class golf courses. It didn’t take long for many to discover Paris International Golf Club, which is featured in this issue. That’s where Bob Reeve, a member of River Creek Country Club in Leesburg, Virginia, checked into one of the guest rooms and left four days and 101 golf holes later. The club’s listing among Signature Gold courses also caught the attention of Jim Munson of Atlanta’s Buckhead Club who had planned a business trip to Belgium and France but who had no plans to play golf in either country — until he saw the availability of Signature Gold’s top-of-the-line equipment. After he and his wife played the course, they wrote to say that they had enlarged and framed a photo of the par-3, 13th hole with its striking backdrop of the Empain château. And Bob Strong of Shady Valley Golf Club in Arlington, Texas, wrote just to say how great it is to find a “home club” while traveling. His letter expressed his pleasure with his overall experience: “It is what you expect and very seldom receive.”

We appreciate the letters and will continue to build the program’s portfolio. Over the next several months, new Signature Gold courses will be opening, including the Nicklaus Golf Club at LionsGate in Overland Park, Kansas; Bear’s Best, Las Vegas; the Flintrock Course at The Hills Country Club in Austin, Texas; Cozumel Country Club in Mexico; and a second course (designed by Tom Weiskopf) at Vista Vallarta in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Still other courses are under construction.

The benefits of Signature Gold are many and your membership director will be happy to explain the complete details.

As the word “Signature” indicates, each course in this collection is carefully selected for its name designer and golf excellence — but more important, for the intangible qualities that combine to provide the Member treasured memories.
