ing golf properties in some of the world’s most
desirable locations.
For example, a relationship with the PGA Tour
has granted members access to 32 additional private and resort Tournament Players Clubs across
the U.S. And partnerships with world-class golfers
means that PLI brand ambassadors now include
greats like Greg Norman and Annika Sorenstam.
“I am very impressed with Pacific Links’ plans
for the future and excited to be affiliated with one of
the world’s foremost golf-course owners and operators,” says Sorenstam, winner of 72 events on the
LPGA Tour. “I am always interested in growing the
game and giving people opportunities to play, and
that is one of the many positive aspects of the PLI
reciprocal membership.”

Any seasoned golfer will tell you that the
game is about more than just skill and
strategy — it’s about learning to adapt to the
unique challenges of different courses. Why play
the same 18 holes again and again when you can
tee up at courses all over the world?
Enter Pacific Links International (PLI), which
offers its members access to world-class golf destinations. The Canadian-owned corporation offers
reciprocal access to more than 80 clubs throughout
North America, Australia, and Southeast Asia,
with or without a home-club membership.
As a PLI member, you can play courses such as
Hawaii’s breathtaking Kapolei Golf Club, a former
sugarcane plantation transformed into a course
with elevated greens, 80 bunkers, five lakes, and
floral gardens. Or tackle the Pete Dye Golf Club
in West Virginia, ranked No. 45 on Golf Digest’s
100 Greatest Courses list. Many of PLI’s affiliated
courses are designed by greats such as Dye, Jack
Nicklaus, and Robert Trent Jones.
As an added bonus, PLI members can expect
top-notch hospitality at every golf location. Think
concierge services like centralized call-in service
for tee times, state-of-the-art instruction, and assistance with flights and accommodations at every
international location.
“PLI is committed to providing our members
and guests with quality golf experiences,” says
CEO Bruce Simmonds. “We pride ourselves on our
ability to offer members a large number of diverse
courses in premier destinations around the world.”
Just as a good golfer knows to focus on more
than just his short game, PLI has teed up for a
major expansion. The strategy? Enrich the variety
of golf experiences by continuing to acquire lead-
