Winter Haven City Commission has selected Billy Casper Golf to manage Willowbrook Golf Course in Winter Haven, FL, halfway between Orlando and Tampa.
BCG will provide turnkey management of Willowbrook’s operations, golf course and property maintenance, sales, marketing and public relations, special events and financial management. Willowbrook is an 18-hole, 6,420-yard, par-72 course.
“Billy Casper Golf has an unmatched reputation for making municipal golf courses shine,” said T. Michael Starves, Winter Haven Director of Community Services. “Its track record improving course conditions, maximizing the impact of capital infusions and boosting performances of courses similar to Willowbrook resonated with the Commission.”
BCG will enact its proprietary “BCGreen” initiative at Willowbrook to conserve, protect and enhance the environment, while also enrolling the course in the Audubon International “Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary” program. This designation increases efficiencies in maintenance, energy, water, pesticides, fertilizer, equipment wear and labor.
