Dear MGC Golf Pass Holder,

 

Last night was the coldest wind chill of the year with the strongest winds. I can only hope the 2008 golf season will soon be here. The entire staff, Golf Manager Keith Zietlow, Superintendent Chris Oehlert, and Assistant Superintendent Luke Imsland has helped to evaluate all categories of our 2008 fee structure to insure that all fees are as competitive as we can allow.  Most fees for our annual pass holders have remained the same.

The big change for 2008 will be our daily fee structure. Due to increased costs we will need to increase our daily green fees and golf cart rental by one dollar each. Our annual golf pass fee structure will remain the same as 2007 which provides for an increased savings by purchasing an annual pass instead of paying per round.

Please review the following information and attached fee structure. The early discount is valid if payments are received prior to February 16, 2008. We at MGC appreciate your past participation and welcome your continued support for the 2008 season.

 

2008 MGC Golf Passes:

A.     Unlimited Golf – Couple, designed for husband

B.     Unlimited Golf – Single, designed for one adult golfer.

Note: Either unlimited category may add dependent children for an additional fee

      (Up to and including 8th grade, High School, College)

C.     Young Adult Golf Pass    Designed for an 18-24 year old individual with unlimited golf privileges

D.     25 - 18 Hole Round Pass (equates to 50 - 9 Hole Rounds)

E.      15 - Round Pass (equates to 30 - 9 Hole Rounds)

F.      10 - Round Pass (equates to 20 - 9 Hole Rounds)

 

       As in the past, the 10, 15 & 25 round passes entitles the purchaser, his/her spouse and all dependent children (living at home or in college) to utilize these rounds for 9 or 18 holes of golf.  Spouse and dependents must be identified on the application.  These rounds must be used during the 2008 season.  Any unused rounds will be forfeited.

B.     T-Time reservations – 14 days in advance vs. normal 7 days

            (T-Times subject to Tournaments and Events)

            The Pro Shop staff will track all of your rounds. You will be able to check your rounds of golf and will be allowed to purchase additional golf pass rounds throughout the year.

 
Early Pay Discount

            All golf passes will be discounted 5% when purchased prior to February 16, 2008.

 

 

Bonus Rounds Program

                For 2008 Keith has added a bonus program for current pass holders who help sell annual passes to new golfers. Bonus golf round passes will be provided to current pass holders based on the type of pass sold to new MGC golfers. Pass holders can refer new golfers to our website at http://manchestergolfcourse.net and print out the fee structure form and mail it back to MGC. Make sure the new pass holder puts your name on the fee structure form to give you credit.

                  Type Pass        Bonus 18 hole rounds

                        10               =          1

                        15               =          2

                        25               =          3

                Young Adult       =          4

            Single Unlimited      =          5

           Couple Unlimited     =          10

 

4-4-3 Golf Passes

            The Dave Harper idea of 4-4-3 golf passes will be offered again in 2008. As a business person you can receive 4-4-3 passes at no cost to you. The pass allows four golfers to golf for the price of three, or a twenty-five percent discount. Your are given credit on the pass for giving the pass and the person you give it to has their name on the pass as the person responsible for providing the discount for the group golfing. It has worked well in the past because the golfers appreciate the discount, you get credit for the reduced price, and you help introduce new golfers to MGC.

 

Junior Golf Passes

            These passes are designed to encourage our young adults to play as much golf during the summer as possible.  These passes are for unlimited play.  Check with the Pro Shop for the time restrictions for junior golf passes. Restrictions include no Thursday tee times after 10am and tee time restrictions for tournaments and golf outings. The Pro Shop staff will track all of your rounds. 

 

Manchester Golf Course Annual Golf Cart Program

     The fee structure for MGC golf cart passes will remain the same for 2008. The daily fee for cart rental has increased one dollar for 9 and 18 hole rounds which makes the annual cart pass program even more of a bargain. The annual cart pass allows for the use of the cart regardless if one or two seats are used.

 

Cart Storage Buildings

            The annual fee for private golf cart storage for 2008 will be $375.00. The additional fee for electric carts will be $50.00 for the season. We will be consolidating cart storage from the upper building to the lower building. Please contact Keith Zietlow to make arrangements to move carts and select new stalls. If you are currently in the lower building you can move to an empty cart stall if you prefer. All stalls will be assigned on a first come basis. If you currently are storing a cart but choose to not use a stall in 2008 you will have until February 18th to have your cart removed from storage. Make arrangements with Keith or Chris Oehlert. All arrangements for golf cart storage must be made by February 18th, 2008. As always, no off premise golf carts will be allowed on the golf course.

 

Once again thank you for supporting Manchester Golf Course.  We sincerely hope that after you read this letter and review the attached fees you will again join us for the 2008 season.  To take advantage of the “early pay discount” you need to pay prior to February 16, 2008.

 

If you have any questions regarding the fees discussed above, please contact Keith Zietlow or myself at (563) 927-4155.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Evan “Chip” Hughes
