Eagle Creek Golf Club To Host
PGA Pro-Pro Series Tournament

ORLANDO, FL - Eagle Creek Golf Club in south Orlando has been selected to host a PGA Pro-Pro Series tournament during the week of the 52nd PGA Merchandise Show. The Eagle Creek event is set for Tuesday, January 25. The show is scheduled for Jan. 27-30.

The Pro-Pro Series will be seven events, up from five in its inaugural 2004 season. Tuesday through Thursday of Show week, PGA golf professionals can choose a tournament that fits their schedule or course preference.

Each event will have a field of 50 two-man teams. PGA Magazine and PGA Golf Exhibitions are the Series' sponsors and each tournament is expected to have a purse up to $4,000. Over 40,000 club professionals, equipment buyers, vendors, and other industry members attend the PGA Merchandise Show each year held at the Orange County Convention Center.

"The Pro-Pro Series is a big addition to the PGA Merchandise Show week, and we are proud to have been selected as one of the sites," said Eagle Creek General Manager Gary Piotrowski. "I think the professionals who choose to play our event will be extremely pleased with the selection."

Eagle Creek, the outstanding new Ron Garl/Howard Swan design, is located just minutes from Orlando International Airport, and course officials made sure golfers can take full advantage of the prime location.

Piotrowski and his staff are making it easy for travelers to schedule their final round of their golf vacation at Eagle Creek by offering first-class clubhouse facilities ­ men's and women's locker-rooms with showers and an outstanding restaurant with quick-service meals. Eagle Creek will also arrange transportation to the airport following golf.

"Visiting golfers need to know that Eagle Creek is a Œmust-play' on their trip anyway, because of the uniqueness of the experience," said Piotrowski. "But with our convenient location near the airport, and the amenities we offer visiting golfers, we've made it an easy decision for them. They simply can save the best until last, and we'll send them home feeling refreshed with memories of a great golf experience."

The "save the best Œtil last" slogan also plays into the uniqueness of the design and its dramatic finishing hole. With five par 5's, Eagle Creek plays to a par 73, the only course in Central Florida to do so. Golfers generally favor par 5's, and none is more enjoyable than the terrific finishing hole. The 483-yard par 5 offers golfers a chance to finish in glory, reaching the green in two. But the sloping putting surface is bordered in front and to the right by water, requiring extreme accuracy on the approach.

Eagle Creek opened in March to rave reviews. It is the first course in Florida to offer Mini Verde, the fifth type of ultra dwarf Bermuda in existence. Mini Verde provides extremely durable and fast-rolling putting surfaces, according to results seen in other parts of the south.

Another "first" among Central Florida courses is the use of Club Car's high-end Precedent, a completely re-deigned golf car, so different that it required a brand new manufacturing plant to produce it. Precedent provides Eagle Creek customers a ride and drive similar to that of an automobile. Golfers will notice several features on the car that will make the golf experience more enjoyable and comfortable, including the ParView GPS system.

The unique experience also is evident in the tournament service package created by PGA Professional Tony Crawford and his staff. It is called Five Star Tournament Service, and that's exactly what event organizers will experience.
"Tournaments and events will be a big part of our business," said Crawford. "We want to deliver a product so impressive and consistent that the groups will return year after year."
In addition, Eagle Creek is an Audubon International Silver Signature course.

Eagle Creek's location, just 12 minutes from the Orlando International Airport, makes it a natural site for group outings and convention golfers. It is destined to become a favorite of the locals as well.

The golf course is "Distinctive Orlando Golf With A European Flair." It is designed to blend unobtrusively with the soon-to-be built homes in the master-planned Eagle Creek Golf Community. Homebuyers will have the option of choosing from different communities that will make up Eagle Creek. In addition, there will be a community park and recreation center for residents.
