MONTICELLO, N.Y. – BoardRoom magazine, in partnership with Forbes Travel Guide, is proud to announce that Resorts World Catskills Monster Golf Club has earned the prestigious Distinguished Golf Destination Designation with Exceptional status, The Hallmark of Excellence for a golf course.
This merit-based designation recognizes exceptional golf courses that exceed expectations in the quality of service and amenities, facilities, and most importantly the teamwork of the staff and management.
“Congratulations to Resorts World Catskills Monster Golf Club under the leadership of Patrick Boucher, PGA for achieving the perfect balance of an exceptional golf experience, quality management, and top-tier facilities,” said John Fornaro, publisher and co-founder of BoardRoom.
“Your commitment to excellence is a shining example to others in the industry, and your dedication to creating an outstanding environment for your golfers is truly inspiring. Keep up the fantastic work.” —
Developed by industry leaders, BoardRoom magazine and Forbes Travel Guide, the Distinguished Golf Destinations designation is the most prestigious and valuable accolade a resort, semi private, daily fee or public golf course can achieve.
The Distinguished Golf Destinations program is not a popularity contest where industry insiders simply decide who makes the cut behind the scenes. Instead, Distinguished Golf Destination status is earned through a process where every aspect of your facilities, course(s), and operation are evaluated against the most important of all measures: Golf Experience.
“We are honored to receive the Distinguished Golf Destination designation with Exceptional status from BoardRoom magazine and Forbes Travel Guide,” said Patrick Boucher, PGA, General Manager of Monster Golf Club. “This recognition reflects the tremendous dedication of our entire team and our shared commitment to delivering an exceptional golf experience at every touchpoint.
“Since the transformation of the course under Rees Jones’ vision, we have focused on creating a championship-caliber destination that pairs world-class golf with the natural beauty of the Catskill Mountains. We are proud to be recognized among the industry’s most distinguished golf destinations and look forward to continuing to elevate the experience for every golfer who visits Monster Golf Club.”
