(VIENNA, VA) – Billy Casper Golf (BCG) – the largest domestic owner-operator of golf courses, country clubs and resorts – has been named among the top 100 job-creating small businesses nationwide in Inc.’s inaugural “Hire Power Awards.”
In addition to being the only golf-course management company on the list, BCG ranks No. 91 in the U.S, No. 4 in the retail industry and No. 8 in Virginia by generating 246 new, full-time jobs from 2008 to 2011.
BCG directs golf course and property maintenance, staffing and training, clubhouse operations, food and beverage, merchandising, golf instruction, sales, marketing and public relations, special events and financial management.
“Billy Casper Golf has created a culture of teamwork, opportunity and results-orientation,” says Peter Hill, Chairman and CEO of BCG. “Generating new jobs is an important component of our business, and we expect to keep pace.”
The Inc. “Hire Power Awards” celebrate American companies on the forefront of job creation, says Eric Schurenber, Editor-in-Chief: “The top 100 companies on the list have created 73,032 jobs from 2008 to 2011. It’s an amazing feat given much of the job growth came during the heart of the recession.”
Operating daily-fee, semi-private, private and resort golf properties for public-agency and private owners, developers and investors, BCG is widely known for its cutting-edge and customized marketing technology, unique promotions and events, revenue-management programs, hiring and training of highly-skilled team members, agronomic best practices and vendor partnerships.
BCG is also recognized as an industry leader in several areas: Grow-the-game initiatives, launching “Golf Fore Women” in 2011; eco-friendliness through “BCGreen” and all courses enrolled in the Audubon International “Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary” program; and for delivering high-quality experiences to golfers and club members as lauded by Golf Digest, GOLF Magazine and Golfweek.
