Billy Casper Golf (BCG) has been selected by the Chicago Park District (CPD) to manage its seven golf facilities, bringing the total number of properties managed by BCG in the Chicago area to 22.
Under the long-term agreement with the CPD (the parks and recreation arm of the City of Chicago), BCG will direct all activities—course maintenance, staffing and training, clubhouse operations, golf instruction, marketing and public relations, special events and financial management—at Jackson Park, Sydney R. Marovitz, South Shore, Robert A. Black, Columbus Park, Marquette Park and Diversey Driving Range.
CPD has committed $5.5 million over 15 years to an aggressive property-enhancement program at the facilities, which encompass six courses, three driving ranges and learning centers, and two miniature golf courses. This includes work on course tees, fairways and greens; detailed attention to turf maintenance; and upgrades to buildings and facades.
