(July 28, 2003) - The Country Club at Mirasol, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida has selected MembersFirst to provide them with Web-based interactive communications to enhance member communications and communicate timely club information and news 24/7, increase member participation at social events and tournaments and build a greater sense of community.

Mirasol will be the new home of The Honda Classic through 2006. Sponsored by Honda, this PGA professional golf tournament will move to Mirasol in 2003, and be played on The Country Club at Mirasol's Arthur Hills-designed Sunset Course for the first year. For the remaining years of the contract, the tournament will move to The Country Club's Sunrise Course designed by Tom Fazio.

Mirasol, a Taylor Woodrow Community, is a magnificent 2,300 acre community set among natural preserves and exquisite lakes. The Country Club at Mirasol, a private, gated country club community with 30 diverse villages, offers private single-family residences ranging in price from the $300s to over $3 million.

According to Don Beattie, Mirasol's director of golf, "Players should be pleased with the Honda Classic's move to Mirasol, as they can expect new challenges and a course where water is not for decoration only. Compared to The Honda Classic's previous locations, The Country Club's Sunset Course will be tighter and offer more variety. Fairways have been sculpted with a lot of contours, and the greens are small and use water instead of sand to penalize errant approaches."

There are 36-holes of magnificent, undulating fairways designed by two of the world's most famous golf course architects - the Sunset course by Arthur Hills, and the Sunrise course by Tom Fazio. Mirasol also features world-class golf practice facilities.
