LET’S GET REACQUAINTED!
I
t’s been 14 years since the Moon Golf Club reopened as a
municipal public course, but even some people living in
Moon aren’t aware of that fact.
“We’ve been around for a long time, but it was the old Bon
Air golf course for about 70 years before that,” said Josh DeNinno,
General Manager. “A lot has changed. There’s been tremendous
improvement in our facility. Every year, we’re making upgrades
and improvements to the club. This year, we just got brand-new
golf carts and made improvements to cart paths. But, unless
you’re a regular, you just don’t know how much has been done.
Everything we make is put right back into the facility.”
The Moon Golf Club is open to everyone, residents and non-
residents, although residents benefit from discounted rates. The
course is open year-round as long as the course is playable, and
annual passes with or without carts are available. DeNinno said
that despite the course being somewhat hilly, there are still die-
hard players who choose to walk the 18 holes no matter what
the weather is doing. Booking tee times is recommended, but
walk-ins may be available during slower play times, and players
can see what time slots are available on the club’s website:
moongolfclub.com.
DeNinno adds that the course is “approachable” and
challenges beginners as well as veteran golf players. It serves as
the host site for two high school golf teams and as a tryout and
practice site for a number of other teams as well. In addition to a
pro shop stocked full of apparel and equipment, the Moon Golf
Club also has a restaurant and bar on-site where players can get
a meal before or after a round. DeNinno notes that the restaurant
is a great place to start for people who just want to see how
great the course has become in the past few years.
“People will be surprised, even if they were here just a few
years ago,” he said. “We hear remarks all the time about how
great the conditions are here—that it’s better than ever before.”
The Moon Golf Club also is host to numerous charity outings
and leagues every year. With over 50 leagues playing every week,
Monday through Friday, players of every ability will be able to
find a group to their liking.
“We’re especially popular for leagues and charity outings
because of our location,” DeNinno said. “We have three office
parks really close to us, 15 hotels and an international airport
nearby. Players can be here within five or 10 minutes. And, even
with all that around you, you still have this place that feels away
from it all, with some of the best public greens in the region.”
