Sales swift for Summer Exchange Program at Blackstone Country Club

Sales have been robust for the new Summer Exchange Program at Blackstone Country Club featuring an 18-hole championship golf course characterized by dramatic desert landscape and elevation changes on each hole designed by Jim Engh, a four-time Golf Digest national award winner.

Since the program’s launch in early May, the membership offer has resulted in an 80 percent increase in new membership sales for the year. The unique program offers partial payment of initiation fees up front with a spending credit for enjoying club services and experiences and the flexibility to pay the balance within the first three months of membership.

Club services that can be exchanged with the remaining credit balance include monthly dues, guest fees, cart fees, locker usage, bag storage, personal training, golf lessons and discounts for food and beverage and golf shop apparel.

The Summer Exchange Program will be offered for new memberships through September 30, 2012 and is anticipated to bring in additional members to its current sales activity.

Blackstone Country Club is situated in the heart of the master planned community of Vistancia. The club’s 30,000-square-foot clubhouse is stunning set amongst the natural desert providing a true country club experience with recreational and social activities for the entire family including a 3,000-square-foot fitness center with high-tech cardio machines, strength training equipment and classes; three resort-style pools, four lighted tennis courts, casual and fine dining and year-round member activities and events.

“The innovative summer membership program has created a vibrant new energy for the club,” said Bill Griffon, general manager for Blackstone Country Club. “While the majority of new members are young families, we’ve seen a significant uptick for social memberships bringing new activity beyond golf to the club,” Griffon said.
