(VIENNA, VA) – Billy Casper Golf (BCG) – owner and operator of more than 130 golf courses, country clubs and resorts – has been selected to manage Eastpointe Country Club in Palm Beach Gardens, FL.
Recognized as an exclusive, upscale gated community of 875 homes, Eastpointe is one of the most sought-after private clubs in South Florida. Championship golf and other recreational and social amenities meet with rave reviews from members and guests. Unique to Eastpointe lifestyle, its members enjoy reciprocal benefits at many elite clubs across America.
The Eastpointe engagement increases BCG’s management portfolio to 14 in Florida and 21 in the Southeast. In 2011, the company has assumed operation of 16 private, public and resort properties, many within upscale within master-planned communities.
BCG will oversee all aspects of Eastpointe member programs, operations, golf course and property maintenance, sales, marketing and public relations, staffing and training, merchandising, restaurant and banquet activities, financial management and special events. Closely coordinating activities with the Eastpointe Homeowners Association further ensures resident satisfaction.
“Billy Casper Golf is adept at operating private clubs,” says Aileen Alexander, President of Eastpointe Country Club. “The company has the infrastructure in place to increase operating efficiencies and deliver exceptional, personalized service.”
“Eastpointe has a very passionate membership,” says Peter Hill, Chairman and CEO of BCG. “Members and guests will realize the Billy Casper Golf difference in the short-term, enjoying memorable experiences time and again.”
BCG will enact its proprietary “BCGreen” initiative at Eastpointe to conserve, protect and enhance the environment. Eastpointe and BCG will retain and perpetuate the club’s recently-attained status as an Audubon International “Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary.” This designation increases efficiencies in maintenance, energy, water, pesticides, fertilizer, equipment wear and labor.
Located just off Interstate 95 on famed Donald Ross Boulevard, Eastpointe Country Club opened in 1974 as a development of General Electric. Center to the community is the 18-hole, 7,011-yard golf course designed by George Fazio and well known throughout South Florida for interesting contouring on the green complexes. Five water hazards come into play on 11 holes and six sets of tees offers playability options for golfers of all skill levels.
With mature landscaping and an abundance of indigenous wildlife, Eastpointe provides breathtaking golf in a relaxed, natural setting. The comprehensive practice area with driving range and putting green is also popular for PGA-certified learning.
Non-golf amenities feature six Har-Tru tennis courts and a state-of-the-art fitness center with instructors certified by the American College of Sports Medicine in personal training, aqua exercise and golf conditioning.
The well-appointed, “Old Florida”-style clubhouse showcases extraordinary views of the No. 18 hole and includes a fully-stocked pro shop, bag storage, locker rooms and dining.
