Canterwood Golf and Country Club’s Board of Directors approved the hiring of Kurt Burmeister for the position of general manager. Burmeister’s experience in golf course construction projects and in membership marketing made him an attractive candidate for the position.
He brings more than 14 years of hospitality experience to his new job, with 10 of those years concentrating in the private club industry. Burmeister earned his CCM (Certified Club Manger) certification offered by the Club Managers Association of America in November 2005. He has managed Bighorn Golf Club and Avondale Golf Club, both in Southern California; and Butte Creek Country Club and Turlock Country Club in Northern California.
Canterwood started construction on its Golf Course Master Plan project in November 2006, with the design work being completed by Tacoma’s renowned golf course architect John Harbottle. Canterwood consistently ranks in the top five by Golf Digest for courses in the state of Washington and hopes to enhance its already striking original Robert Muir Graves design. |
