St. Marys Golf: Back for 2011 Season!

As we get through this rather long winter, and head into Spring, we look forward to what promises to be yet another exciting golf season at the St. Marys Golf and Country Club in St. Marys, Ontario. The 2010 golf season brought many exciting changes to the club, the most notable of which was the construction of the new 17th hole and 18th tee.

To celebrate the re-designed golf holes, we will be hosting a Grand Opening of sorts in late May, which will be tied into our Member’s Appreciation Day. At the event we will highlight the changes to the course, while allowing both golf members and green fee players to enjoy the 17th and 18th holes in their new layout. Sandy, the course superintendant, says that the grass took very well to the new hole and that the view from 17th tee is absolutely spectacular, with the surrounding trees and church steeple standing behind the hole creating 'a golfer’s delight'. The new tee block on 18 promises to offer a tremendous, but fun challenge for golfer’s of all abilities. Rick, the golf course manager, commented that the carry over the stream on the 18th will amass 186 total yards from the tips, making the decision whether to go straight up the pipe, or lay up to the left (while flirting with the danger of going to the trees), a difficult one. Rick smirked, “The new set up of the 18th hole will make this finishing hole…one to remember.” If anything, the new layout should prevent a few golf balls from ending up in someone’s front windshield.

If you are thinking of getting out to the course for a round of golf in April or May, be sure to check out our green fee rates and golf memberships on our website: stmarysgolf.com. If you are thinking of giving us a real try this season as we continue to make St. Marys golf one of the best golf courses in Southwestern Ontario, you’ll have to see if our Preferred Players Packages/Game Packs are right for you (and/or your spouse or friends to share). This is a great opportunity to purchase 20 to 30 rounds of golf at a much lower price than paying per visit (while not having to invest in being a member).

With the golf industry evolving each year, we are also offering our members and green fee golfers (and wanna-be golfers) great value to become part of the St. Marys Golf Team through various Social Media outlets. We continue to enhance our website year after year, with the newest edition coming out in early April. Furthermore, we plan on investing even more time in our monthly e-Newsletters, daily Facebook updates, the St. Marys Golf Academy (in partnership with Stonetown Physio), and of course, our Golf Blog. To become a member of our e-Newsletter where we will be offering the chance monthly to WIN golf packages and golf gear, be sure to e-mail us. Also, be sure you sign up with us on our Facebook page where we will be offering discounted golf rounds, golf tips, and golf-related news.

We look forward to the 2011 golf season at the St. Marys Golf and Country Club. If you are from Ontario, in cities such as Stratford, London, Kitchener-Waterloo, the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) or beyond, be sure to give the St. Marys golf course a try. And don’t forget to become a member of the St. Marys Golf Team!
