​Warminster's Five Ponds Golf Club Wins State Recognition

​Warminster's Five Ponds Golf Club has been named the Pennsylvania Golf Course Owners 2018 Golf Course of the Year.

Warminster's Five Ponds Golf Club has been named the Pennsylvania Golf Course Owners 2018 Golf Course of the Year. Five Ponds is owned by Warminster Township and has been operated by Spirit Golf Management since 2014.

Each year, the PGO honors a member course in the state that demonstrates four criteria: exceptional quality of the course, exceptional quality of ownership and management, outstanding contribution to its community, and significant contribution to the game. Previous PGO Courses of the Year include Wedgewood Golf Course (2017), Conley Golf Resort (2016) and the Spirit Golf-operated Makefield Highlands Golf Club (2015).

“Five Ponds not only exhibits the qualities we look for every year when choosing a course of the year, but we also recognize Spirit Golf for continued excellence in golf course management, and a commitment to the fellowship, advocacy, and best practices as members of the PGO,” said PGO Executive Director Gregg Acri.
