WALES, Wisconsin—The Legend has announced plans to take the recently acquired Bristlecone Pines, now renamed The Legend at Bristlecone, fully private by the end of the 2009 golf season. The “Drive for 25” as it is being called around The Legend is expected to fill the 25 memberships needed to take the golf operations at The Legend at Bristlecone fully private.
Limited public play has always been accepted at The Legend at Bristlecone, while The Legend at Brandybrook has remained fully private since the day it opened in June 2003. A month ago, prior to the sale being finalized, Managing Partner Jack Gaudion shared his vision with the Bristlecone members that The Legend at Bristlecone would become fully private in 2011, or possibly as soon as April 2010, depending on the success of their aggressive membership drive.
The announcement of fully private golf operations at The Legend at Bristlecone is music to the ears of the club members who prior to the acquisition by The Legend had little hope that Bristlecone would ever progress into a fully private club. “It became increasingly difficult to refer a friend or colleague to the club as a new member when it was apparent to everyone that Bristlecone was never going to become a fully private club. Now everyone is referring their friends to The Legend. The golf courses, facilities, and commitment to the Membership by truly experienced golf people makes it easy for me to promote to a prospective member,” said Bristlecone Board Member Jeff Reichhoff.
The Bristlecone acquisition was completed just two weeks ago and due to the overwhelming positive response from dozens of new member prospects referred by Legend Members, The Legend has accelerated its mission to end public play at The Legend at Bristlecone before the end of the 2009 golf season.
As the club industry is in decline around the country, The Legend stands in stark contrast with its family-oriented club model, refundable membership deposits, and young, active membership. “New members are the lifeblood of a club. They bring with them fresh ideas, a sense of vitality and enthusiasm, and allow us to provide more benefit and a better dues value to the Membership as a whole. This acquisition and membership drive has allowed us to attract new members that never would have joined The Legend previously, whether the reason cost or location. The success of the last two weeks and the next 45 days has pushed this club to an entirely different level unlike any other private club in Wisconsin,” Gaudion said.
Until September 1, initiation deposits at The Legend will be sold for $15,000. After September 1, deposits will return to $35,000 as they were prior to the membership drive.
The Legend has two upcoming events for Prospective Members. The first is an island-themed pool party on The Legend at Bristlecone’s Pool Deck on Friday, July 31st. The second features Milwaukee’s Finest, “The Eddie Butts Band” and will be held on The Legend at Brandybrook’s Pool Deck on Friday, August 14th. Prospective Members can RSVP to these events by calling The Legend at 968-9717.
“No other club can rival The Legend’s dual club facilities. Combine that with the reciprocal benefits Legend Members have at The Legend at Bergamont, and Legend Members have access to three Championship Golf Courses, one fully private clubhouse, two semi-private full-service clubhouses, and three pool, tennis, and fitness complexes. No other club can offer that.”
“In these unprecedented times, it seems that many people are understandably leery of a major discretionary investment. If you’re looking to join a private club, I simply can’t imagine why you would join anywhere else,” said Club President Kevin Scharnek.
The Legend’s commitment to its members remains strong as well. The Legend is the only fully private club offering 100% refundable membership initiation deposits in metro Milwaukee. The Legend is the only fully private club who guarantees no member assessments for future capital improvements or operating losses.
The Legend is a privately-owned non-equity club, which was founded in 2003 with the opening of The Legend at Brandybrook in Wales, Wisconsin. In 2007, The Legend purchased The Bergamont, now The Legend at Bergamont, in Oregon, Wisconsin.
The centerpiece of The Legend at Brandybrook is a world class, 7,006 yard, golf course and is known for its firm and fast tour like playing conditions, especially it’s A-4 Bentgrass greens. The Legend has been rated the #2 Private Course in the Milwaukee area by the Business Journal and has hosted the American Junior Golf Association’s Future Legends for several years. The Legend was nominated as Golf Digest’s “Best New Private Course in America in 2004”.
Rated 4 1/2 stars by Golf Digest, The Legend at Bristlecone’s championship golf course was designed by Scott Miller, a former senior designer for Jack Nicklaus. Playing to 7,005 yards with a par of 71, The Legend at Bristlecone has already played host to more than one-half dozen state tournaments including regional qualifying for the U.S. Open and the State Amateur Championship, Bristlecone will host the Wisconsin State Open in 2010.
