GORKI GOLF CLUB
Gorki Golf Club is the first golf club in the North-West
region of Russia just 50 km away from historical St. Petersburg. With a Par 72 championship 18-hole golf course
made in the best traditions of the famous Scottish inland
links courses and a total length of 6,505 meters, the
pioneer establishment is designed to cater to the demanding golfing audience of the area and even offers on-site
residencies.
Der Gorki Golf Club ist der erste im Nordwesten Russlands
gelegene Golfclub mit einem Par 72 Championship Golfplatz.
Nur 50 km vom historischen St. Petersburg entfernt wurde
der 18 Loch Platz in der Tradition der berühmten schottischen
Inland Links Plätze angelegt. Mit einer Gesamtlänge von
6.505 m, wurde der Club speziell für die Ansprüche gehobener
Golfspieler in der Region gebaut. Es gibt sogar Wohnimmobilien vor Ort.
The Gorki Golf clubhouse and restaurant located at the
highest point of the golf resort and provide a perfect
opportunity to relax in the club’s manifold forms of hospitality. In a cozy two-storied restaurant guests can recuperate from the game, enjoy food and drinks and watch
the goings-on on the golf course through panoramic
windows. The restaurant offers European and Russian
cuisine to suit all tastes.
Das Clubhaus mit Restaurant liegt erhaben auf einer Anhöhe
des Golf Resorts und bietet Gastlichkeit jeder Art und viele
Möglichkeiten zu entspannen. In dem gemütlichen, zweistöckigen Restaurant können sich die Gäste von ihrem Spiel
erholen und ausgewählte Speisen und Getränke genießen
während sie durch die Panoramafenster dem Treiben auf dem
Golfplatz folgen. Dabei haben sie die Wahl zwischen russischen
und europäischen Spezialitäten.
Visitors and guests unfamiliar with the region’s characteristics will find the Gorki Golf Club and its surroundings
a most spectacular site to see given the beautiful, often
brooding, landscape and the numerous historically
relevant and/or naturally touching places to visit. And it
takes only 1 hour from Pulkovo Airport to get there.
Vor allem Gäste, die nicht mit der Gegend vertraut sind, werden Gorki Golf Club und sein Umfeld als einzigartig sehenswert empfinden. Die schöne, oft melancholisch anmutende,
Land-schaft und die zahlreichen geschichtlich relevanten und
natürlich anrührenden Orte sind auf jeden Fall einen Besuch
wert – und es dauert lediglich eine Stunde, um vom Flugplatz
Pulkovo hierher zu gelangen.

The World of Leading Golf is a growing collection of some

investigates, there are far more benefits to being a member
than at first meets the eye.

With the core golf market continually shrinking as the number of rounds
played per club and country deteriorate
by the year, even the finest golf clubs
need to ask themselves ‘what exactly is
it that the discerning golfer desires?’
One imagines prestigious establishments such as Stoke Park or Roehampton
Club should not really have anything to
fear, but, nevertheless, both decided to
join World of Leading Golf (WLG) in order
to help maintain their status and make it
known on a pan-European scale.
WLG is a corporation representing
some of the globe’s most distinctive
clubs, and the core of the terms of
admission are a complete devotion to
the quality and values of golf. Member
clubs and potential members are tested
anonymously to certify their compliance to WLG standards, in order that the
brand can provide an objectively evaluated certification to identify the ‘best
of the best’ and position them as the
‘Champions League’ of golf courses.
Stoke Park’s Stuart Collier, the director
of golf at the five-AA Red Star Hotel, said:
“We were delighted to lead the way in
England with our WLG membership.
“The benefits are clear and it is reassuring to know that golfers across Europe
are able to determine immediately the
quality of our venue simply because we
have the stamp of approval from WLG.”
And this is exactly what WLG is aiming
to achieve: to establish a brand representing the elite golf clubs in Europe and
serve as a credible means of benchmarking for the moneyed, but, consequently,
fastidious golfer.
However, it is not just courses that
attract this desirable target audience of
sophisticated golfers. To them, golf is not
just the game – it’s a question of attitude
and lifestyle. Ambience, gastronomy and
obliging customer service, therefore,
play a key role in creating the aspirational ‘World of Leading Golf experience’.
Consequently, the comprehensive
WLG mystery test covers more than 400
items of interest from the first call at the
club, across all golf and course-relevant
questions, to refreshments and the
last ‘good-byes’. Ascertaining absolute
impartiality, the test is carried out by
Europe’s leading golf-specific mystery
shopper service, 59Club.
With renowned member clubs like
Roehampton Club, Golf Son Gual,
Golfclub Beuerberg and Costa Navarino,
across 16 countries, WLG enjoys increasing worldwide influence.
WLG CEO Claus Feldt explained: “The
brand, and whoever is connected to it,
will be recognised as part of the elite of
golf. Serving as ambassadors of the WLG
brand and associated member clubs
everywhere they go, the management
LEADING THE WAY
Golf Son Gual, Mallorca
GOLDEN PEDIGREE
Stoke Park, England
PORTUGAL’S FINEST
Monte Rei, Portugal
will represent members’ interests: on the
web, facing the press, and in their presence at trade and consumer fairs.
“Presidents, managers and the leading
personnel of member clubs will profit
from a diverse means of networking –
online and personally – by meeting up at
our varied events. Research and consultancy on the basis of the mystery-test
results will help eliminate any weaknesses and raise our already high standards.”
While the number of golf club
members in England, especially, is on the
slide, the upward trend of golf tourism is
unbroken. And this is why WLG focuses
on marketing and communication platforms for certified premium clubs in
order to promote awareness and raise
their return on investment.
Print and on-line publications – such
as its annual WLG Guide, advertisements
and regular newsletters – serve as refer-
ence guides for the demanding golfer,
while ‘member only’ travel offers and
other advantages help deepen the relationship between the designated golfers
and WLG member clubs.
In the next month, WLG will introduce
a new ‘concierge services’ platform, a
web-based booking tool accessible only
to those golfers who belong to WLG
member clubs. Since ‘reductions’ and
‘2-for-1’ offers are not the means by
which WLG is looking to make sales, the
website enables users to book tee-times
for VIP packages automatically granted
to registered WLG member golfers.
Exclusive golf breaks and event and
tournament-packages at WLG member
clubs will enable participants to ‘feel
like a member’, which is the conceptual guideline for all offers provided
within the WLG concierge service. While
golfers enjoy certified standards and
outstanding services, the member clubs
themselves profit from networking at
eye-level, since WLG regularly organises
connecting trips and networking days
for presidents and managers of member
clubs. De facto and potential partners
and sponsors may also participate in
such events to present themselves and
discuss joint activities.
David Shepherd, director of golf at
Monte Rei Golf & Country Club – ranked
number one in Portugal in many polls –
approves of the efforts being made by
WLG. He said:
“Since golf is a seasonal sport, there is
a lot of potential in the co-operation of
northern and southern European clubs
especially. Furthermore WLG has been
forging contacts to launch a number of
tournaments for co-op partners in the
consumer industry, finance and charity
sectors.” GMé
