(VIENNA, VA) – Buffalo Turf & Landscape Company (Buffalo TLC) – a division of Billy Casper Golf, the largest domestic owner-operator of golf courses, country clubs and resorts – has extended its partnership with Hoffman Estates Park District to provide agronomic management of The Bridges of Poplar Creek Country Club in the Chicago suburbs.
Buffalo TLC maintains the golf course and surrounding grounds at The Bridges of Poplar Creek. It also played a major role in the multi-million dollar capital enhancements program that included renovating 15 holes; re-routing several holes; adding multiple tee boxes; re-configuring fairways, bunkers and lakes; adding fescue for depth and definition; creating a 9,100 square foot putting green and 3,500 square-foot bentgrass chipping area; and rejuvenating the clubhouse.
In 2012, Poplar Creek was honored as “Renovation of the Year” by Golf Inc.
“The No. 1 determinant of where golfers play is course conditions,” says Dean Bostrom, Executive Director of the Hoffman Estates Park District. “Buffalo TLC represents the best in scientific and practical turf management, benefitting golfers’ experiences and Poplar Creek’s top and bottom lines since 2008.”
“Longtime partnerships are testament to the hard work our team puts in each day,” says Bryan Bielecki, Vice President of Agronomy of Buffalo TLC. “We pride ourselves on saving money for partners while improving overall turf conditions on and around the golf course.”
Buffalo TLC exemplifies a new approach to maintenance-only programs. Uniquely promoting a fee-for-service structure, it allows property owners unfettered visibility into actual activities and costs. Such transparency differs from conventional “lump-sum” contracts that do not require detailed reporting.
Delivering turnkey agronomic management of golf properties, Buffalo TLC utilizes a powerful and scalable operating platform that features talented course superintendents, purchasing economies of scale, development of tailored action plans and budgets, overall business prudency and impeccable course and property conditions.
Buffalo TLC is structured to eventually serve sports fields, parks and recreation areas, and residential and commercial developments. Complementary to golf-course maintenance, property owners choose from:
• Landscaping – Horticulture, snow removal, lawn care, bed maintenance
• Development – Irrigation, construction, renovation, general contractor
• Environmental Management – Wetlands, ecosystems, lakes, wildlife habitats
• Total T&L Care – All the above
