PANAMA CITY BEACH, FL, October 11, 2005. Sterling Resorts has signed an exclusive agreement with Bay Point Resort in Bay Point, Fla., which grants guests staying at all Sterling-managed vacation condominium properties in Panama City Beach membership access at Bay Point Resort. Beginning in spring 2006, guests checking in at all Sterling Resorts-managed properties in Panama City Beach will receive a membership card that can be used throughout their stay to obtain significant discounts on Bay Point Resort's spa services, dining and championship golf. Sterling guests also can book advance tee times for the resort's newly opened Nicklaus Course (the only Nicklaus-designed golf course in Northwest Florida), as well as the challenging Meadows Course.
