THE CLUB AT BOND HEAD BECOMES A CLUBLINK PREMIUM DAILY-FEE CLUB

logo_bondheadClubLink Corporation announced that it has entered into a long-term, 21 golf-season lease with Bond Head Golf Resort Inc. for The Club at Bond Head effective immediately.


The Club at Bond Head, just west of Highway 400 north of Toronto, consists of two superb 18-hole courses designed by the renowned architectural firm of Hurdzan Fry. In addition, the facility includes a magnificent clubhouse and The Institute at Bond Head, a state-of-the-art instruction centre.


“We feel this is a beneficial arrangement for all parties,” said Joe Caruso, Managing Director and Secretary of Bond Head Golf Resort Inc. “We have developed one of the top golf facilities in North America and we are proud to partner with the largest golf company in Canada.”


“The Club at Bond Head fits the ClubLink image perfectly,” said Rai Sahi, ClubLink President and CEO. “The facility combines two excellent courses with world-class amenities and superlative service standards. “Similar to the arrangement at Glen Abbey, ClubLink members will have reciprocal access to The Club at Bond Head.”


Ontario Courses Co-Op to Add Value

George Tidd, a long-time owner of Hidden Lake Golf Course in Burlington has launched an idea that has semi-private golf course owners in Ontario co-operating in a value-added idea that should be a win-win for courses and golfers alike.


Tidd says, “we, as owners, need to stop fighting each other with discounts and price wars and start working together.”
The concept is known as Privileged Member Golf and works like this. Participating courses will allow members from other participating courses to play for a green fee of $30, cart included. Tidd adds, “this idea provides each course with an additional incentive for golfers to take out a 2009 membership and also allows for club members to play a variety of top courses around the province.”

“We are thrilled to bring the 2011 RBC Canadian Open back to the Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club,” said Scott Simmons, RCGA Executive Director and CEO. “The quality of the golf course is of utmost importance to PGA TOUR players and the response to Shaughnessy from players in 2005 was overwhelmingly positive. The course is among the premier venues in all of Canada and we are delighted that the membership has agreed to host the championship in 2011.”
