PRESS RELEASE
SAN DIEGO, CA -- (Marketwire) --Barona Creek Golf Club at Barona Resort & Casino
has recently been named one of the 10 Best Casino Golf Courses in the country by
Links Magazine in their online publication.
Links Magazine identified the best risk and reward holes of top driveable par 4s
and reachable par 5s. Barona Creek's 14th hole, a par 4 at 310-yards, was
recognized among the top courses.
"We are honored to be part of such an elite list of recognizable golf courses
that are well-respected around the country," said Don King, executive director
of golf operations at Barona Creek Golf Club. "This ranking is a testament to
the vision of the Barona Tribe and to each of our staff members that strive to
deliver a unique Barona moment to every player on our golf course."
Barona Creek's 14th hole is noted for the constant downwind play on the
well-bunkered green, allowing even medium hitters a decent chance at par.
Other casino golf courses on the 10 Best list included: Atlantic City Country
Club, Northfield, N.J.; Cascata, Boulder City, Nev.; Circling Raven Golf Club,
Worley, Idaho; Fallen Oak Golf Club, Saucier, Miss.; Grand Bear Golf Course,
Saucier, Miss.; Journey at Pechanga, Temecula, Calif.; Shadow Creek, Las Vegas,
Nev.; We-Ko-Pa Golf Club, Fort McDowell, Ariz., and Wilderness at Fortune Bay,
Tower, Minn.
Barona Creek Golf Club is a 7,448-yard par 72 golf course with more than 114
multi-fingered bunkers and a series of lakes and ponds connected to the area's
naturally fed streams. The course offers multiple sets of tees to accommodate
players of all abilities. It features more than 170 mature native oak trees
transplanted from other regions of the Barona Indian Reservation.
The course has also been recognized for its environmental efforts by the United
States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and San Diego Earthworks. Barona's
state-of-the art water reclamation and wastewater treatment facilities allow the
Tribe to save and reuse nearly every drop of water runoff at its Barona Resort &
Casino and Barona Creek Golf Club. The property currently uses 100 percent of
the reclaimed water to irrigate the golf course and surrounding landscape. The
course has also won the prestigious Bronze Signature Sanctuary Certification
from Audubon International for its conservation, environmental quality and land
management efforts.
