SPONSORED CONTENT R Business Spotlight olling Hills Country Club is an ideal place for families who desire an exciting lifestyle and for business leaders who entertain associates and guests. Nestled on a 190-acre farm, purchased from the Bell family in 1947, one enters Rolling Hills Country Club along East McMurray Road in McMurray, Peters Township, and may liken its beauty to Heaven on Earth. The course was designed by architect James Harrison to give continuing golfing joy, stimulation and satisfaction to its players, and will test all levels of golfing abilities, according to Dave Ball, club president. In fact, USGA Senior Agronomist Keith Happ attests: “Playability was exceptional in all areas of the course with consistent turf density throughout the property and marvelous green surfaces,” a credit to Chris Markel, golf course superintendent. Throughout its rich history, club leaders committed to continually improve the golf course, the Clubhouse and all amenities. This commitment has carried over in major renovations and annual reinvestments, which keep Rolling Hills as one of the best in the area. Most recently, the heated pool area received a $40,000 facelift, including the bath house and new decking, attests Mr. Ball. Club leaders also consider various opportunities for new membership. A Slice of Heaven is opening to local families in the form of a Pool-Only Membership, with a maximum of 40 offered this season, which includes the opportunity to compete on the RHCC Swim Team. Of course, it’s all about golf! Just ask Larry Roytas, PGA Head Golf Professional, who presides over a full season of golf, social activities, plus a full-service Pro Shop and practice facilities, including a driving range and short game area—complete with sand bunkers and two putting greens. Members participate in a wide range of events all season, which culminate in annual Signature Men’s, Ladies’ and Couples’ Invitational tournaments. But what happens when playtime is over? Rolling Hills has one of the finest dining experiences SPONSORED CONTENT in the region. From casual to world-class international cuisine, Rolling Hills’ executive chef, Erik Gitzen, CEC, not only keeps the menu interesting, but he creates tastetempting dishes by special request. In addition to sitdown fine dining and a famous Sunday brunch, members enjoy upbeat, themed social events throughout the year, according to Austin DeClaudio, club manager.
