Beaverbrook Golf Course in Minden has new owners and big plans for the nine-hole course, clubhouse and property.
Luigi Centurami and Liz Coccia have purchased the course and hired Gordon Timbers as the director of golf to lead the golf operations and maintenance team at the property.
Timbers said he’s assuming his role this spring and will begin implementing plans for improvement throughout the facility.
“COVID-19 protocols will be at the top of the list, with a goal of ensuring all guests feel comfortable with a minimal contact experience,” he said.
Plans also include a complete renovation to the clubhouse, which is currently underway and should be completed early in the 2021 golf season. An addition of new carts is in the works as well, which Timbers said will improve the quality of the experience.
“We will be adding a full-service restaurant to the facility, called Mulligans Pub & Patio, that will be operated by Michael Wright and Paula Sylvester as owners and food and beverage managers for the course,” he said.
The pair have been owners and operators of the Tower Bistro restaurant in Dorset, winning the TripAdvisor award of excellence.
Timbers said the facility is also excited to announce that they will be offering a full adult membership at the promotion price of $500. Timbers will also be assessing the daily rates for the coming 2021 season and will probably make adjustments to be on par with the other 9-hole courses in the County.
They’ll be continuing the ladies league tradition as a supporting venue for the Chippers and Putters divisions held on Tuesdays. The course will also be offering a weekly men’s night that is slated for Monday evenings; which will be using a shotgun format to promote a club atmosphere.
With Centurami and Coccia also owning Twin Lakes Resort, Timbers said currently the two entities will be separate, “but we may offer a stay and play promotion through the resort in the future.”
Timbers’ resume includes work at the Muskoka Bay Club, Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club, The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge and Beacon Hall Golf Course in Aurora.
