Rocky Gap Lodge & Golf Resort (Cumberland, MD) Cited for Distinction by GOLF Magazine Panelists in National Publication’s Inaugural “Best Courses Near You” Rankings

Award-Winning Jack Nicklaus Signature Course in Lush Maryland Mountains Continues
to Garner National Recognition

(CUMBERLAND, Md.) – Rocky Gap Lodge & Golf Resort – an amenity-rich AAA
Four-Diamond Resort – today announces its Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course
appears in GOLF Magazine’s “Best Courses Near You” rankings.

The September issue marks the first time GOLF – one of the nation’s most widely
circulated golf publications – has ranked the best courses in each state. Rocky
Gap is in elite company on the list of Maryland’s finest and can stake claim
to being the state’s only Nicklaus Signature Course. The magazine’s rankings
panel included editorial staff and well-traveled golf industry sources.

“It’s always a thrill to be recognized as a top-of-the-bell-curve course
and to have such a prestigious publication such as GOLF consider Rocky Gap
one of the best courses in the state speaks volumes,” says Rocky Gap General
Manager Tim Grambley. “This is a credit to the design as well as the day-to-day
efforts of our dedicated staff here at the resort – both on and off the course.”

The award-winning par-72 course is a design masterpiece that features two
unique playing experiences. The front nine was carved out of the mountainside
and boasts dramatic elevation changes, while the back nine features expansive,
gently rolling fairways and scenic vistas with breathtaking views of the wooded
splendor.

From the first tee to the final putt, Rocky Gap is an experience unlike any
other. The variety of holes – from long-and-demanding to short-but-sweet, doglegs
left and right, and a mix of terrain – keeps the round fresh at every turn.

In addition to championship golf, Rocky Gap Lodge & Golf Resort also offers
many packages ranging from treatments at the Garden Spa to holidays, romance
and family.

Conveniently located within two hours of Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Washington
D.C., the all-inclusive resort sits at the gateway to Rocky Gap State Parkand
is nestled at the base of Evitts Mountain, on the pristine shores of Lake Habeeb.
