BULLE ROCK RECEIVES GOLF DIGEST’S TOP 5-STAR RATING FOR THE FOURTH CONSECUTIVE TIME

HAVRE DE GRACE, Md. (May 30, 2006) −A Golf Digest readers poll recently awarded the magazine’s top five-star rating to 17 golf courses in North America and the Caribbean. For the fourth consecutive time, Bulle Rock made the five-star list, which was published in Golf Digest’s Best Places to Play.

Touted as “the most comprehensive guide to public-access golf,” Golf Digest’s Best Places to Play is now available in golf shops and bookstores. It was developed from evaluations by more than 20,000 readers who provided opinions on course conditions, pace of play, service, value and the overall golf experience at public and resort golf courses. Bulle Rock was the only Mid-Atlantic course to receive the five-star rating.

“We were very fortunate to have received this honor in 2000, 2002, 2004 and now 2006,” said Richard Rounsaville, Bulle Rock’s general manager and director of golf. “It’s a tribute to the caliber of our course, the quality of the amenities and our staff’s dedication to servicing the guests.”

Designed by Pete Dye, Bulle Rock is considered the top public course in the state of Maryland and one of the best public courses in the nation. Named after the first thoroughbred horse brought to America, it broke out of the pack as the destination golf course in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Set on 235 acres of a lush horse farm, Bulle Rock rolls amid 100 feet of elevation changes. Fairways are lined with bluegrass and tall fescues which lend a classic look to the layout. Tall hardwood trees, natural rock formations and stone walls provide super back drops on many of the holes. Seven holes feature water, and at least that many are of signature caliber.

With a course rating of 76.4, a slope rating of 147 and a yardage of 7,375 the course will test the best of golfers. That’s one reason why the LPGA chose Bulle Rock to host the McDonald’s LPGA Championship from 2005-2010. In addition to its 18 holes, Bulle Rock offers a double fairway range with an all-grass teeing area, a full-service locker room, a pro shop and a strong caddy program, as well as newly designed and expanded restaurant and banquet facilities. It is centrally located in Havre de Grace, Md., between Baltimore and Wilmington, De. For more information, call 410.939.8887 or visit www.bullerock.com.

The Residences at Bulle Rock is a resort-style community being developed around the golf course by Manekin, LLC, Clark Turner Companies and H&S Development Corporation. Upon completion, it will comprise approximately 2,000 condos, villas and single-family homes built by Clark Turner, D.R. Horton, NVHomes, Ryan Homes and Ryland Homes (and coming soon Bozzuto Homes). All homes will feature first-floor owners’ suites, open floorplans, vaulted ceilings, garages and other amenities for luxury living.
