Selected to Manage Popular Portland-area Club
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA – OB Sports Golf Management returns to Langdon Farms Golf Club in Portland Oregon, having been selected to manage operations by course owners Chris and Tom Maletis. Ranked as the “#1 best course to hold a golf tournament or corporate event in Oregon” and as the “#2 public golf course in Oregon” (only behind Bandon Dunes) by the Portland Business Journal, Langdon Farms Golf Club is home to 18 holes of stunning golf designed by John Fought and Robert Cupp.
"When Tom and I purchased the course we wanted to be 100% hands-on and make Langdon Farms the best conditioned and best customer service public course in the northwest,” stated Chris Maletis, co-owner of Langdon Farms. “We believe we have achieved this and we feel OB Sports is the best management company capable of adding even greater value to the Langdon experience," added Maletis.
At Langdon Farms, OB Sports will manage all aspects of club operations including golf shop operations, food and beverage, guest services, group sales, marketing and turf care. OB will also provide comprehensive accounting and human resources services to the project.
The OB Sports team was involved at Langdon Farms in all phases of the project’s design, construction, theme development and management during the early years of the project. Furthermore, the corporate headquarters of OB Sports was located at Langdon Farms from 1995-1999.
“Langdon Farms is one of the true signature properties in the history of OB Sports”, states Orrin Vincent, CEO and founder of OB Sports. “We are extremely proud of its heritage, its many unique facets, and our many collective personal experiences there. We look forward to working with the Maletis brothers and together taking the project to new heights.”
Langdon Farms Golf Club opened to rave reviews in 1995 and immediately became a favorite in the Portland area. Over the years, the local, regional and even national golf writers have consistently recognized it as a truly unique golf experience. The "Big Red Barn" Clubhouse, winner of Crittenden Magazine’s "Best New Clubhouse" for 1996, was modeled after the original barn on Mr. Langdon’s farm. The original barn, built in 1916, actually comes into play down the left side of the 8th hole. The Big Red Barn clubhouse, creative signage, theme development, and links-style golf course design and maintenance elements have all contributed to the exceptional reputation of Langdon Farms. The golf facility is open, as displayed at the entrance, to the “PUBLIC ONLY”.
