ClubCorp to Manage LPGA International
LPGA International Offers Two Championship Courses with Four-and-a-Half-Star Ratings in Golf Digest's "Places to Play"
DALLAS, Jan. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ClubCorp, The World Leader in Private Clubs, announces that LPGA International, a semi-private club in Daytona Beach, Florida, will be managed and operated under the ClubCorp umbrella and provided with membership development, marketing and management services.
LPGA International, the home course of the LPGA Tour which serves as the site of the final stage of the LPGA Tour Qualifying School, features two 18-hole championship golf courses distinctly different in design – the Rees Jones-designed Champions Course and the Arthur Hills-designed Legends Course. The Champions Course offers a traditional links-style golf design that combines strategic mounding, natural marsh areas, scenic lakes, and undulating greens. Ranked No. 6 by Golf Digest Woman on its 2010 "America's Top 50 Courses for Women," the Championship Course is a favorite among the LPGA Tour players. The more-challenging Legends Course features natural wetlands, narrow pine corridors, small greens, and strategically placed water hazards.
LPGA International's renowned practice facilities feature an 80,000-square-foot natural turf practice area, 10 target greens, six practice putting greens (several with bunkers), and a three-hole Practice Academy that offers par-5, par-4, and par-3 holes. The practice facilities, coupled with the exceptional golf courses, allow LPGA International to offer personalized golf instruction on every facet of the game through private lessons, clinics, and golf schools.
Amenities also include The Grille restaurant, offering both casual and more formal dining experiences, and The International Room, which accommodates up to 150 guests and is perfect for weddings and private events.
"We are very excited about adding LPGA International to our portfolio of clubs," said Eric Affeldt, ClubCorp president and CEO. "Not only does the LPGA International allow us to offer even more exceptional golf to our members, but it is a great opportunity to now expand our presence in the management sector after several acquisitions in 2011."
"I am extremely pleased to have entered into this management agreement," said John P. Albright, president and chief executive officer of Consolidated-Tomoka Land Co. "ClubCorp brings unparalleled expertise and knowledge of golf management as well as an expansive network of benefits and opportunities outside of the club for LPGA International members. We look forward to growing the membership at LPGA International as well as having our facility showcased to the many members of ClubCorp's portfolio of clubs throughout the United States who will no doubt take advantage of this opportunity to have a championship golf experience within six miles of The World's Most Famous Beach."
