ATLANTA’S BEST LINKS ARE CLOSER THAN YOU THINK

Are you tired of driving hundreds of miles and paying big bucks just to get a decent game of golf? According to Roy Gilbreath, the solution could be right around the corner.

General Manager and co-owner of Dogwood Golf Club, Gilbreath says many people overlook his course even with its easily accessible and central location in West Cobb County. First opened in 1969, Dogwood prides itself on being a player-friendly course that comes complete with immaculate Bermuda grass fairways AND affordable membership rates. In fact, Gilbreath says many members have tried playing Atlanta’s high dollar greens – but they always come back to Dogwood. Gilbreath believes the club possesses a unique feeling of fellowship and family among its members and the friendly staff. Dogwood’s staff makes sure customer care and service is top priority – something Gilbreath says sets the club apart from the competition.

For those wanting to refine their skills or maybe take a swing at the game for the first time, Dogwood offers PGA professional instruction and clinics for all skill levels. The club is also host to many community and charitable events. On Saturday September 30th, Dogwood will hold a golf charity event to raise money for cystic fibrosis research. Those interested in participating can call Dogwood and speak with Jason Turner to register.

Gilbreath has been challenged in getting the word out about this hidden gem. Right now, the club relies mainly on word of mouth and its memberships with local organizations as its marketing tools. Just one reason why bookapro.com caught Gilbreath’s eye. He says bookapro’s affordable rates were hard to resist and looks forward to seeing what additional exposure and interest he and his club can gain through the website.
