Fellows Creek Golf Club’s Jason McIntyre Named Billy Casper Golf ‘Superintendent of the Year’

Honoring the central region superintendent whose above-and-beyond performance in all areas of agronomic management serves as a shining example, Billy Casper Golf cites McIntyre’s amazing accomplishments: impeccable course conditions significantly improved guest experiences; a team-first approach cultivated the region’s most polished group of turf experts; adherence to a long-term strategy has positioned Fellows Creek for immediate and future success; and solid business principles which maintained labor and operating costs below budget without comprise to product quality

‘We are extremely proud of Jason and honored he’s part of the Billy Casper Golf family,’ says Joel Gohlmann, Senior Vice President of BCG. ‘He is critical in helping Fellows Creek achieve financial growth by presenting a gorgeous golf course every day.’

‘Under Jason’s direction, Fellows Creek is synonymous with terrific playability,’ says Jeff LeBlanc, General Manager of Fellows Creek. ‘Detroit-area golfers are fortunate that one of the nation’s finest superintendents in their backyard.’

About Fellows Creek Golf Club
Situated 30 minutes west of Detroit, Fellows Creek was co-designed by renowned Michigan-based architects Bruce Matthews and his son, Jerry. Three nine-hole, par-36 golf courses treat guests to unique experiences:

• The 3,222-yard South Nine is known for rolling terrain and several elevation changes. Named among the ‘Toughest 18 holes in Southeast Michigan’ by The Detroit Free Press, the signature 208-yard, par-3 No. 9 features an uphill approach shot and creek running tee to green.

• The 3,241-yard East Nine presents entertaining challenges to all golfers of all abilities. Most notably is the 512-yard, par-5 No. 3 with its tree-lined fairway down the left and a two-tiered green that is guarded by a pond and flanked by bunkers.

• The 3,280-yard West Nine includes two reachable par 5s and long par 3s. The drivable 298-yard, par-4 No. 2 tempts golfers to go for the green but risk hitting into a tree-lined fairway and a creek 60 yards short of the putting surface.

Home to a fully-stocked pro shop, restaurant and elegant banquet room for up to 300 guests, the renovated clubhouse boasts views of the course and is a favorite for weddings, corporate outings and other social engagements. More information: www.fellowscreekgolf.com, 734/728-1300.
