SkyCaddie strikes partnership with Macdonald Hotels & Resorts

  • SkyCaddie members to receive preferential rates at UK’s largest independently-owned hotel business

HADDENHAM, BUCKS, UK – SkyCaddie members in the UK can now enjoy a 15% discount off accommodation at 40 hotels across the country, in a new Partner Offer with Macdonald Hotels & Resorts announced today.

For a limited time SkyCaddie members will also receive a £10 Macdonald Hotels & Resorts voucher per room per night, to spend on spa, golf or dining at the award-winning group’s establishments.

SkyCaddie, the #1 most-trusted rangefinder in golf, has launched the offer on its website as the latest Partner Offer available exclusively to SkyCaddie membership holders.

Of particular interest to SkyCaddie members will be the five golf locations in the UK operated by Macdonald Hotels & Resorts, plus hotels such as Macdonald Rusacks Hotel which overlooks the historic Old Course at St Andrews.

The new partnership means that SkyCaddie members will enjoy discounted golf breaks at Macdonald Hotels such as Macdonald Linden Hall Golf & Country Club in Northumberland; Macdonald Portal Hotel, Golf & Spa near Chester; Macdonald Hill Valley Hotel, Golf & Spa in Shropshire; Macdonald Cardrona Hotel, Golf & Spa near Peebles; and on the spectacular Spey Valley Championship Golf Course at the Macdonald Aviemore Resort in the heart of the Scottish Highlands – home to Scotland’s longest golf hole, the 635 yard 5th.

With romantic retreats, city breaks and coastal getaways also available, SkyCaddie members can look forward to a memorable stay, fine quality food, and excellent service with Macdonald Hotels & Resorts.

“SkyCaddie members tend to travel more widely than the average golfer,” said Jacqui Surman, Senior Vice President International Sales & Marketing at SkyCaddie, “so preferential rates at the UK’s largest independently-owned hotel business will be of great interest to most of them, I am sure. We are always looking for ways to add new benefits to our globally-popular SkyCaddie membership programmes, which ensure that golfers have the best-possible information at their fingertips when – like our mappers – they walk the fairways.

“Now, SkyCaddie members will not only get the latest and most comprehensive maps at all Macdonald Hotels & Resorts golf courses, but they’ll also have extra cash to spend on their golf break too. We are proud to announce this partnership with Macdonald Hotels, one of the country’s most prestigious brands in the leisure sector, and we urge all SkyCaddie members to take time to investigate this offer”.

Keith Pickard, Director of Golf at Macdonald Hotels & Resorts, said: “We have a true passion for golf and we want to share in that enthusiasm with our guests all over the country. Our partnership with SkyCaddie is the perfect way to reach golfers and showcase our championship portfolio, from the panoramic views of the Scottish Highlands to the rolling hills of the Cheshire countryside.

“Not only do we offer fantastic golf experiences but our accommodation, spa facilities and service are second to none, ensuring that SkyCaddie membership holders who make use of their discount will have a stay to remember.”

The new Macdonald Hotels deal for SkyCaddie members is valid until December 31st 2015, and there is a members-only online link available to facilitate the discounted bookings.

Ends.
