• Description:

  Blacksburg Country Club is a private, member-owned club with more than 475 members. The club offers an 18 hole championship golf course, junior Olympic size pool, tennis courts, proshop, and full clubhouse with dining operation. The Club is preparing to invest in a turnkey Internet service provider (for communication purposes) for its membership.

  However, the Club desires to create a "public" site for prospective members. Our goal is to creatively market the Club's major assets. This can be through VR imagery and Flash or other technologies. In addition, the Club would like to investigate and put into place a real-time "tee cam" for members to view those teeing off the 1st or 19th tees if technical support for putting this into place is possible.
