Market Leader on Track for Best Year Ever Despite Down Economy  

Knetgolf – the world’s largest combined recycler and refinisher of premium, pre-owned, brand-name golf balls – reports a year-to-date customer savings in excess of $20 million, averaging more than a dollar per ball. 

Projected to sell a company-best 20 million golf balls in 2009 across North America (and in 30 other countries), Knetgolf’s sophisticated recycling process provides consumers with quality, unblemished balls at significant discounts.

Carved out of the picturesque Niagara Escarpment, and nestled between Rattlesnake Point and Mount Nemo, Crosswinds Golf and Country Club provides some of the most beautiful views of natural landscape in the area.

With two huge rock faces located to the north and south and rolling scenic farmland to the east and west, Crosswinds Golf and Country Club will make every golfer wish they brought their camera. Opened in 2001, Crosswinds is well on its way to becoming one of the best public golf courses in the province.

The significance of the Crosswinds name is both self-evident and mysterious. The mystery lies in the story told by locals that there is one spot on the course where the wind will blow in all four compass point directions at once. But don't let a breeze or two discourage you, Crosswinds provides a pleasant test of golf emcompassing both ball control and shot-making.

One of North America’s most prolific, yet underrated golf course architects has now brought his design magic to a Canadian course we can all play. Rees Jones, known to many as the “Open Doctor” for his modernizations of classic major championship courses, also redesigned the courses being used for BOTH the Bell Canadian Open and last summer’s Canadian Women’s Open this summer, and this year’s President’s Cup.

But those are all private courses. The recently opened Rees Jones Course at Grand Niagara Resort in Niagara Falls is open to all of us looking for unique golf adventure. The centerpiece of a resort that will include a 350-room hotel, vacation ownership properties, fine dining, a winery, a full-service spa and fitness center, and in 2009 a course designed by Greg Norman, the Jones Course is only Rees’ second Canadian original. He also designed Royal Oaks Golf Club in Moncton, New Brunswick with colleague Keith Evans in 2000.
