Sponsorship Opportunities at Hillcrest

Hillcrest is looking for Title Sponsors for 2 new events in 2009.

The first event, The Hillcrest 4-Ball, will be held Saturday and Sunday, May 30-31. The event will be open to members and non-members, pros and amateurs, male and female participants. The format is a 36 hole, 2 person bestball with a Championship (Pro-Am or Am-Am) Division, and Flighted Divisions based on handicap. The sponsorship fee for this event is $1,000 and includes the following; complimentary entry fee into the event for 2 people ($200 value), contact information for all participants, exclusive billing on all advertising and on-site visibility throughout the event. The Hillcrest 4-Ball will be promoted at many courses in Wisconsin and Minnesota, as well as to active professional and amateur players alike. FYI - there is not another event like this, in this area. 2 person events are extremely popular and we anticipate this event to be very successful for years to come.

Our second new event this year is the Hillcrest Pro-Member to be held Friday, July 17. The event will be 18 holes with teams consisting of 1 Professional and 3 (or 4) Amateurs from Hillcrest. The sponsorship fee for this event is $500 and includes the following; complimentary entry fee ($50 value), pick of professional to play with, contact information for all participants, exclusive billing in all intra-club promotion and 1 complimentary golf lesson.

If you are interested in becoming a sponsor for either one of these events, please contact Jim Maguire at jimmaguire@hillcrestgolfcc.com or at 715-832-2929.

P.S. – Advertising opportunities are still available for the Hillcrest website, 50 new Golf Cars, and our Driving Range. Each one of these entities are highly used and receive a great amount of exposure. Contact John Williams at johnwilliams@hillcrestgolfcc.com for more details.
