Colleton River Receives Multiple Prestigious Awards
Bluffton, SC (PRWEB) November 20, 2016 -- Colleton River, a private, waterfront golf community, is proud to announce it has received its fifth consecutive Platinum Club of America designation, and has been ranked in the top five percent of all private clubs in the country by Club Leaders Forum. These rankings are determined every three years through questionnaires sent to club managers and presidents of approximately 5,000 private clubs belonging to the Club Managers Association of America (CMAA). This prestigious recognition is based on five aspects of private clubs: quality of membership, tradition and culture, amenities, governance, and quality of management and staff.
In keeping with this recognition of excellence, Colleton River was also designated a Distinguished Emerald Club of the World by Boardroom Magazine this year for the second time. Distinguished Emerald Club status is awarded to only the top five percent of private clubs which provide a member experience at a level attained by only the finest clubs in the world.
“We are honored to be recognized for our commitment to excellence within our Club at every level” said Tim Bakels, COO/General Manager of Colleton River. "Distinction as both a Platinum Club of America and Distinguished Emerald Club is a reflection of our efforts to continually improve and excel.”
Finally, at the local level, Colleton River won Hilton Head Monthly’s 2016 Readers’ Choice Award for Favorite Private Golf Club in Bluffton. Hilton Head Monthly celebrates local businesses and communities with their Readers’ Choice Awards annually, and recognition within the community is also something the Club is honored to achieve.
