Ocean Pines Golf & Country Club – owned by the Ocean Pines Association and managed by Billy Casper Golf (BCG) – has named Damian Cosby the new Director of Golf.

At Ocean Pines, Cosby will direct day-to-day operations, including staffing and training, clubhouse food and beverage, golf course maintenance, programs and special events, and golf instruction. Most recently General Manager of Eisenhower Golf Course in Crownsville, MD, Cosby has been with BCG since 2007.

“Damian is a strong leader who will train and empower his team to deliver a high level of service,” says Bob Thompson, General Manager of the Ocean Pines Association. “Ocean Pines is excited about the energy, experience and fresh perspective Damian brings to the club.”

In November 2011, BCG was selected to manage the semi-private Ocean Pines, overseeing all aspects of operations, marketing and public relations, staffing and training, merchandising, clubhouse food and beverage, financial management, golf instruction and special events.

Open to the public, Ocean Pines Golf & Country Club is part of an 8,000-home community. It features an 18-hole, par-72, 6,927-yard layout and Delmarva Peninsula’s only design by legendary architect Robert Trent Jones, Sr. Nestled amid natural wetlands and scenic woodlands with water in play on 10 holes, five sets of tees and ample scoring opportunities dare players of all abilities to challenge themselves.

The well-appointed clubhouse includes a fully-stocked pro shop, restaurant and locker rooms. A comprehensive practice area with a double-ended driving range and sheltered tees, chipping green, two putting greens and two sand areas delight even the most ardent golfers. Ocean Pines offers clinics, private lessons, club repair and bag storage.
