PREDATOR RIDGE UNVEILS THE NAME OF THE NEW GOLF COURSE
Vernon, BC - Thursday January 21, 2010 - Predator Ridge announces that the newest addition to the resort will be named The Ridge Course. The Ridge Course, an 18 hole championship golf course designed by award winning architect Doug Carrick, will open this summer for golfers of all skill levels to enjoy.
The Ridge Course offers dramatic elevation changes, spectacular mountain vistas, stunning views of Okanagan Lake and rugged outcroppings of rock frame many of the holes, adding to the challenge and beauty of the course. The Ridge Course was designed by award winning architect, Doug Carrick, who is known for using the natural typography of a site to create courses that are playable by golfers of all skill levels. Over 7,190 yards in length, the Par 72 course will be a must-play on any Canadian golf itinerary.
"The new course at Predator Ridge has been designed to provide golfers of all skill levels with a memorable and exhilarating golf experience that is unique to the Okanagan Valley," comments Doug Carrick, owner of Carrick Design. "Multiple tee locations on every hole provide varying degrees of challenge and enjoyment for highly skilled golfers, as well as for novice or recreational golfers."
Predator Ridge has a reputation for providing outstanding playing conditions and first class service and the addition of The Ridge Course will surely enhance the overall experience golfing at Predator Ridge.
Construction on the new course started in January 2008 and was completed in September 2009. It was the first major infrastructure project initiated after Vancouver-based Wesbild Holdings Ltd. acquired the resort and real estate development in September 2007.
The resort launched a contest in the fall to solicit ideas and suggestions for names for the course offering a prize draw of a membership for the 2010 season to one lucky entrant.
"Over 7,000 people entered the contest offering a wide variety of name ideas and The Ridge Course was a popular suggestion," say Rod Cochrane, General Manager at Predator Ridge Resort. "In looking at the experience that Doug Carrick has created and the nature of the site, we truly feel that the name reflects the course as much of it sits along a ridge overlooking the lake, golfers will really have an understanding what The Ridge Course is all about, the very first time they play it."
The resort is also renaming the original golf course to The Predator Course. It was previously known as the Osprey - Red Tail course. "Our guests already refer to it as 'The Predator Course'," says Rod Cochrane, "We are simply updating the name to reflect the identity it already has in the marketplace."
