(VIENNA, VA) – Billy Casper Golf (BCG) – owner and operator of more than 130 golf courses, country clubs and resorts – has been selected to manage Hanover Country Club in Ashland, VA, just north of Richmond.
The Hanover addition increases BCG’s portfolio to 22 properties in the Mid-Atlantic. In 2011 and early 2012, the company has assumed operation of 21 private, public and resort properties.
BCG will oversee all aspects of Hanover’s member programs, operations, golf course and property maintenance, sales, marketing and public relations, staffing and training, merchandising, restaurant and banquet activities, special events and financial management.
“Billy Casper Golf will introduce new, exciting programming to enhance our membership roster,” says Jeffrey Cornwell, General Manager of Hanover Country Club. “The company’s excellent track-record boosting performances of similar clubs resonated with our Board.”
“Hanover’s strong course layout, secluded natural setting and sense of community contribute to wonderful experiences at the Club,” says Peter Hill, Chairman and CEO of BCG. “Members and guests will realize the Billy Casper Golf difference.”
For a limited time, Hanover is waiving its initiation fee and two months dues for the first 50 new members under its two-year program. Categories include full, junior, senior and social / athletic memberships for individuals, couples and families.
BCG will enact its proprietary “BCGreen” initiative at Hanover to conserve, protect and enhance the environment. Hanover will enroll in the Audubon International “Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary” program. This designation increases efficiencies in maintenance, energy, water, pesticides, fertilizer, equipment wear and labor.
Renovated in 2006, the 18-hole, 6,700-yard, par-71 course at Hanover Country Club presents stimulating play for golfers of all abilities, fantastic conditions and spectacular scenery. Meandering through the foothills, South Anna River and Stagg Creek, the layout challenges golfers to think through their rounds with a premium placed on accuracy.
A driving range and comprehensive practice area are popular among golfers honing their games between rounds.
Non-golf amenities feature four lighted tennis courts and Olympic-size swimming pool. The quaint clubhouse showcases a bar, grille dining room and banquet facilities, making Hanover a preferred venue for corporate outings, weddings and other social events. A fully-stocked pro shop, bag storage and locker rooms ensure comfort and convenience.
