July 30, 2004

(Englewood, CO.) - Today's top business professionals know that relationships are key to success, and many are finding ways to step outside traditional settings - literally when it comes to golf - to forge stronger bonds with clients, partners and even employees.

One of just two hotels offering on-site golf courses in the Denver area, The Inverness Hotel and Conference Center is home to the semi-private Inverness Golf Club. Partnering IACC-certified meeting space with fast undulating greens, The Inverness is an ideal setting for business men and women to enhance their swings and deepen important relationships.

"The Inverness Has a rich history of being the choice for the Colorado Open, the Colorado Section of PGA Championship and the Celebrity Players Tour," noted Jim Lemke, PGA pro and Inverness director of golf. "Obviously we have demonstrated ability to host exceptional events, but The Inverness has the added benefit of being an exceptional meeting destination as well."

From Charity golf tournaments to team building activities on the driving range to "breakout sessions" that allow conference attendees a chance to unwind, The Inverness hosts a wide range of events that blend the corporate world and the links.

Recently heralded the Top Golf Course for a Tournament by Colorado Biz Magazine, The Inverness has expanded its golf staff to meet growing demand. A Dedicated tournament director is now available to coordinate every element of corporate events , from assembling prize packages to catering the post-tournament meal.

Tournament packages include 18 holes of championship golf with carts and traditional "closest to the pin" contests with 16 different prizes. Additional golf amenities include golf cart set up, rental clubs, bag drop and storage service, and fully equipped locker rooms. A PGA award winning Pro Shop is also open daily for merchandise and prizes.

In addition, all members of The Inverness Pro Staff are fully certified PGA golf instructors. Specialized group clinics can also be arranged. Tournament players also have the opportunity to improve their games with private lessons form the PGA staff.

The Inverness course is a par 70, 6,993-yard PGA championship golf course featuring tight, sloping fairways, rolling hills and fast, undulating greens. Water comes to play on 11 of the 18 holes. The course also offers players a driving range, chipping area and putting green.
