The Greg Norman-designed Stone Canyon Golf Club is set to open in mid-May of 2009. Located just east of Kansas City in Independence, Mo. Stone Canyon is the first Greg Norman Signature Design in the greater Kansas City area.

Stone Canyon will be introduced to the greater Kansas City metropolitan area in 2009 but will not officially begin operation as a private club until 2010. Upon opening and during a limited time during this inaugural season, Stone Canyon Golf Club will offer a preview rate of just $50 per player including golf car (the regular unaccompanied guest rate will be $80).

“Our goal is to have every golfer in the region experience Stone Canyon Golf Club and the Greg Norman Design at least once this season,” states David Goff, Vice President of Operations for OB Sports, the management company that will oversee operations at Stone Canyon.

“For those who take advantage of this introductory offer and want to make Stone Canyon their home course, we have created a ‘Priority Membership Offering’ that will allow families and individuals to reserve their spot and receive additional benefits in the meantime,” Goff adds. “Becoming a Stone Canyon Priority Member requires only a $1,000 deposit, which is fully refundable should members decide not to exercise the option of joining the club in 2010.”
