Eagle Eye Golf Course Wins Prestigious “Golf Course of the Year Award”
Few golf experiences in Michigan will rival what awaits you at Eagle Eye in Bath. There are many reasons General Manager Alex Coss was handed the trophy of distinction honoring Eagle Eye as the Michigan Golf Course Owners Association’s Golf Course of the Year for 2006. For openers, Eagle Eye is stunning to look at. Designer Chris Lutzke toiled in relative obscurity with the Jerry Matthews Natural Course Design firm in Lansing. When he got his big break, boy did he ever come through. It’s amazing what one man’s vision, teamed with one of the world’s renown architects (Pete Dye) can do to an old potato farm and Michigan bog. But having a beautiful golf course is not all it takes to earn the distinction of ‘Golf Course of the Year’.
The ‘MGCOA Course of the Year Award’ honors a golf property demonstrating the highest performance in four criteria. In addition to exceptional quality of the course, the property is owned by the Daryl Kesler family and managed in a manner that benefits the customer first. Contributing to the community through the provision of the First Tee infrastructure as well as direct charitable donations in excess of $1.5 million has distinguished the Kesler’s as a leader among their peers in the industry.
Eagle Eye and Hawk Hollow Golf Properties continually work for the ‘good of the game’ and strive to promote current and future growth. High school, college, junior tournaments, as well as the Michigan PGA Championship, US Open qualifiers and Michigan Publinx Senior Amateur, to name a few, all benefit from the competition on this pristine golf property.
The Course of the Year Award winners come from MGCOA’s core membership, which make an outstanding contribution to the game of golf in their markets, and are model operations to their peers. Eagle Eye represents first class service with impeccable course conditions and an amazing clubhouse facility. |
