36 Holes Designed by PGA TOUR Legend Billy Casper Now Owned, Operated by Industry-Leading Management Firm
[LINCOLN, Calif.] — Billy Casper Golf ("BCG") today announces the company has purchased and now operates Lincoln Hills Golf Club – the 36-hole championship facility in Lincoln designed by BCG’s namesake Billy Casper and acclaimed golf-course architect Greg Nash.
Acquired from Pulte Homes, which built the course as part of the popular Sun City Lincoln Hills residential development, BCG is working to enhance course conditions and playing experiences for residents and guests.
BCG manages more than 70 golf courses across America, including four layouts in Southern California and three in Hawaii. As owner of The Lincoln Hills Club , BCG brings its superlative course management and customer service practices to every aspect of operations.
"It was important for Pulte to partner in the sale with a top-drawer management firm," says Henry DeLozier, Pulte Homes Vice President of Golf. "This way, the golf course would be in especially good hands."
"Billy Casper’s design of The Lincoln Hills Club was a labor of love, and it is gratifying for our company to now own and operate the course," says BCG Chairman and CEO Peter Hill. "Many community residents purchased their homes largely for the wonderful golf amenity, and we are excited to continue Billy’s legacy by creating fun, enjoyable and peerless golf experiences based on keen attention to customers."
With two championship layouts, a driving range and full-service pro shop, the Lincoln Hills courses route their way through the rolling hills and natural wetlands commonly found in Placer County. The courses’ generous and undulating fairways are framed by menacing rough, daunting hazards and pockets of pine, oak and redwood trees that add to the risk/reward challenges and aesthetics.
