Historic Pelham Bay & Split Rock Clubhouse Swings In New Era With Special
Ribbon Cutting Event

New York's venerable Pelham Bay & Split Rock Golf Courses step into the 21st
century with the official grand reopening of the historic clubhouse.

NEW YORK, June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- A special ribbon cutting celebration to mark
the $10 million renovation of the Bronx's Pelham Bay & Split Rock Golf Courses
and event venues is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. EDT on July 14, 2009.

Pelham Bay & Split Rock, which opened in 1901, are reintroducing themselves to
the New York metropolitan areas as golf destinations and venues for weddings,
bar/bat mitzvahs, business meetings, graduation celebrations or other family,
community or corporate events. New York City Events, the catering sales arm of
American Golf Corporation, can accommodate groups of many sizes to create
unforgettable experiences.

"With the renovation of the historic buildings at the city's oldest public
courses, including an overhaul of its grand pavilion, a space that holds up to
200 people for special events, the Pelham Bay & Split Rock Golf Courses have
been transformed into the preeminent event venues in the Tri-State area," says
Adrian Benepe, Commissioner of New York City Department of Parks and
Recreation.

"Event planners and golfers are now afforded an easily accessible destination
from both New York City and Westchester County with a level of play that sets
it apart from other municipal courses," says Benepe.

"The modernization of these historic buildings, including the banquet
pavilion, creates a historic setting with exceptional amenities that enhance
the impact and quality of any event, from a large wedding party to a smaller,
more intimate gathering," says Matt Silver, Regional Director of Catering for
American Golf Corporation. "Add to that the beauty of the settings on these
gorgeous courses, and it's an above-par experience," says Silver.

In addition to the world-class service provided by the New York City Events
staff, Pelham Bay & Split Rock offer:

-- A banquet pavilion, offering a beautiful view of the golf course, for
celebrations of up to 200 people;
-- Smaller rooms for more intimate gatherings such as corporate offsite
events;
-- A spacious patio suitable for outdoor ceremonies or receptions; and
-- Customized golf packages at this 36-hole facility

"The setting is a major amenity in itself but these are no ordinary golf
courses. We have a variety of catering packages, and we can offer customized
arrangements for parties of any size to receive the finest quality banquet
experience," says Silver.
