Course of the Week: Lake Barrington Shores Golf Club to be managed by Landscapes Golf Management
Landscapes Golf Management has been selected by the Lake Barrington Shores homeowners association (HOA) to manage their newly acquired golf club.
The Lake Barrington Shores HOA recently purchased the golf course and quickly recognized Landscapes Golf Management’s success operating clubs in Illinois. The company will reopen food and beverage operations, redefine turf management practices, upgrade marketing and operations technology, reface the club website and other branding and communications vehicles and roll out new membership programs and daily-fee options for residents
Fifty minutes northwest of downtown Chicago, Lake Barrington Shores features an 18-hole, 6,392-yard, par-71 layout that is challenging for golfers with high and low handicaps. According to the company, golfers can feel one with nature amid tree-lined fairways and sloped terrain, and then they meet hole No. 17 that presents a dastardly approach shot over a menacing lake. Larry Packard, known for his design of the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort near Tampa that hosts PGA Tour events, is the architect Lake Barrington Shores’ layout.
The gated community of more than 1,110 homes boasts a lodge, marina, beach, sports complex, indoor and outdoor pools, tennis courts, trails and fishing and boating activities. Residents walk and jog on the private, three-mile pathway around the 96-acre lake that winds through 36 acres of forest preserve.
“It’s gratifying HOAs recognize our team’s success transforming clubs into highly active, financially successful businesses,” said Tom Everett, president of Landscapes Golf Management. “Building teams and developing strategic playbooks, combined with crisply executed plans, result in achieving the objectives our clients have for their properties. That’s what it’s all about.”
