(VIENNA, VA) – Billy Casper Golf (BCG) – the largest domestic owner-operator of golf courses, country clubs and resorts – has been selected by the Dauphin County General Authority to manage Dauphin Highlands Golf Course in Harrisburg, PA.
BCG will provide turnkey management of Dauphin Highlands’ operations, golf course and property maintenance, sales, marketing and public relations, staffing and training, merchandising, restaurant and banquet activities, special events, golf instruction and financial management.
“Billy Casper Golf has a sterling reputation for taking municipally-owned golf courses to the next level,” says Barbara A. Zemlock, Chair of the Dauphin County General Authority. “Its focus on creating memorable guest experiences as well as marketing acumen and overall management philosophy is laudable.”
“With an excellent course layout, Dauphin Highlands is poised for significant growth,” says Peter Hill, Chairman and CEO of BCG. “Golfers and the Dauphin County General Authority will realize the Billy Casper Golf difference in the short and long term.”
BCG will enact its proprietary “BCGreen” initiative at Dauphin Highlands to conserve, protect and enhance the environment, and enroll the course in the Audubon International “Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary” program. The result is increased efficiencies in maintenance, energy, water, pesticides, fertilizer, equipment wear and labor.
Dauphin Highlands features an Ault, Clark and Associates-designed 18-hole, 7,121-yard, par-72 public course comparable in quality to many country clubs. Opened in 1995, it quickly gained critical acclaim, including a four-star (of five) rating from Golf Digest and a “Reader’s Choice Award” from Harrisburg Magazine.
Framed by majestic trees and sporting well-manicured fairways and greens, Dauphin Highlands comes alive with seasonal wildflowers and elegant plantings. From the challenging No. 4 hole (172 yards par 3) with extensive bunkering and a two-tiered green to the wide open No. 12 (541-yards par-5), Dauphin Highlands provides scads of opportunity for golfers to enjoy every facet of the intricate game. The signature No. 17 hole is a par 3 of natural beauty that requires players to carry a ravine onto a gently sloping green.
A large driving range with four target greens and a large putting green ensure golfers hone their games between rounds. The expansive clubhouse includes a fully-stocked pro shop, Highland Pub and event space, making Dauphin Highlands a natural setting for corporate outings, meetings and other social events.
