POUND RIDGE, N.Y. -- Pound Ridge Golf Club has quickly become a must play golf destination, especially for New York metro-area golfers. Pete Dye has designed 18 beautiful challenging holes that keep golfers coming back for more. The time is now for local golfers to experience the gem in their backyard.

In this the club's first full season, golfers have finally found a first-class home course that does not require initiation fees or yearly assessments. Golfers can book individual rounds or take advantage of two prepaid pass programs. The Individual Pass and Corporate Plan prepaid options ($5,000 and $10,000, respectively) allow individuals, families and businesses the opportunity to be Pound Ridge Golf Club golfers without the added expense that member-only clubs require. Participants in either program enjoy two free rounds as benefits of membership as well as use of the driving range and practice facilities Monday through Friday after 4:00pm. A third program, The Unlimited Afternoon Golf Pass ($3,500) is perfect for golfers who are looking to play a quick round or a few holes after work. This attractive plan offers unlimited golf after 4:00 p.m. on weekdays and weekends.

Pound Ridge Golf Club also has recently made rate adjustments allowing golfers who book a tee time more than eight days in advance the chance to play a Pete Dye course at reduced rates.

"People should have the opportunity to enjoy a top-caliber golf course," said Todd Leavenworth, General Manager. "These special rates will allow public golfers, and country club golfers looking for a change, a wonderful opportunity to use our facility and see the magic that Pete Dye created on each hole."

The special advance reservation rates are:
1) $195.00 up to 3 p.m.
2) $150.00 Twilight rate (3-5 p.m.)
3) $105.00 Super-twilight rate (5 p.m. to close)

Zagat's has called Pound Ridge Golf Club a "phenomenal new course" and notes that the Dye design is both scenic and extremely challenging from every tee box.
