DALLAS (Nov. 3, 2015) – Arizona’s historic London Bridge Golf Club, a 36-hole Arcis Golf property in Lake Havasu City, is starting a significant improvement project to both golf courses, as well as the clubhouse.
Dallas-based Arcis Golf, the golf management company that owns 72 golf facilities nationwide, purchased London Bridge Golf Club in 2014.
Scheduled to be complete by year’s end, the $200,000 upgrade includes a thorough reconditioning of both the Oldé London Course, the first golf course to be built in Lake Havasu City, and the Nassau Course.
Course conditioning projects from tee to green, including replacement of bunker sand, expanded irrigation, and tree management, combine to provide golfers with quality playing conditions.
“While improvements are being made to both golf courses and the clubhouse at London Bridge Golf Club, were still focused on the key details that enhance the guest experience,” said Greg Kinney, regional manager for Arcis Golf. “We’re bringing in new bag stands, yardage signs, better mats for the driving range, and trash cans. Everything we do is designed to elevate every golfer’s experience.”
Implementing “best practice” agronomic techniques and new maintenance equipment – including greens rollers, utility vehicles, sprayers and aerifiers – ensures the transformation of the golf courses will be sustained, Kinney noted.
Also, clubhouse furnishings are being refreshed, coupled with an improved patio area.
Golfers have enjoyed London Bridge Golf Club for close to 50 years. The club was the brainchild of Lake Havasu City founder Robert P. McCulloch, Sr., who was looking for ways to capitalize on tourism. The Oldé London course brought golf to Lake Havasu City for the first time in 1967, with the original nine holes; they were followed by a second nine in 1969. The Nassau Course opened for play in 1977, adding a layout that provides fabulous views of Lake Havasu and the surrounding city.
“We are excited to begin a new chapter in the legacy of London Bridge Golf Club,” Kinney said. “It is an important part of Lake Havasu City history. This is a great opportunity to restore the luster to both the Oldé London course and Nassau course, and to be able to offer golfers a fresh new product.”
