Beach, Florida, owners of The Seagate Hotel and Spa and the Seagate Beach Club,

Seagate Hospitality Group, LLC.
William J. Sander III, Executive Vice President of Seagate Hospitality Group and General Manager of the Seagate Hotel & Spa, said, "Our hotel's premier location in Delray Beach, Florida - recently awarded the 'Most Fun Small Town in America' by Rand McNally and USA Today - coupled with our nearby beachfront paradise and now, a private country club, provide the ultimate vacation experience that our guests are looking for." Darren Panks, Director of Golf and International PGA Professional, will direct the 18-hole Joe Lee golf course, which winds through 300 private acres and features Celebration Bermuda grass tee boxes, plush tree-lined fairways and more. An impressive practice facility offers a fully outfitted driving range, putting green, pitching and bunker areas as well as an additional staff of PGA Professionals. The Club's tennis center has eight Har-Tru courts and tennis professionals available for personal instruction, as well as drill sessions, tournaments and round robins. The Club also features a 4,200-square-foot fitness center, pool, fitness director and personal trainers. In addition, The Seagate Country Club offers both casual and fine-dining options, indoors and outdoors, including a fine-dining restaurant available for dinner, along with the casual 19th Hole restaurant and bar. All dining operations are led by Executive Chef Adam Gottlieb and feature fresh American cuisine fashioned from local and coastal ingredients. With Balinese-inspired décor and banqueting, The Seagate Country Club is also a popular venue for meetings, social gatherings and weddings and can accommodate up to 300 seated guests. The Hamlet Country Club opened in 1973 and was one of the first private clubs in the state of Florida. With the renowned architectural course design led by Joe Lee, along with regular black-tie events, the Club drew membership of greats such as former member and board member Jack Nicklaus; retired baseball legends' Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford; and Hall of Fame pro golfers Beth Daniels, Sandy Lyle, Jane Blalock and Hollis Stacey. In 2007, The Hamlet underwent a $10 million renovation; the Club was refurbished with fine woods, bamboo and silk, along with re-contoured golf course fairways and new Har-Tru tennis courts. "We are thrilled to introduce the newest Seagate property to our esteemed members and hotel guests," says George Valente, General Manager of the Seagate Country Club. "Our goal is to cultivate the finest resort experience, while sustaining the intimacy of a boutique property, for both members and hotel guests alike."
