The Tamarac, Fla.-owned club closed in August and is now scheduled to re-open to preview the course to the public with special rates on greens and cart fees, and a limited food and beverage operation. The club will host a more formal grand re-opening in January 2014.
Colony West Country Club, owned by the City of Tamarac, Fla., and managed by Billy Casper Golf, is scheduled to re-open to preview the course to the public on December 15 with special rates on greens and cart fees and a limited food and beverage operation.
C&RB reported earlier this year that Colony West closed on August 25, letting go 47 employees (“City Seeks Management Company for Colony West CC”).
BCG’s planned golf-course maintenance schedule will restore the daily-fee Colony West’s Championship Course to its former glory and engineer improvements to the Glades Course executive layout. Colony West will host a more formal grand re-opening in January 2014.
“The City of Tamarac has worked closely with Billy Casper Golf to quickly re-open Colony West for the renewed enjoyment of residents and guests,” says Michael Cernech, Tamarac City Manager. “The opportunities are endless and we are excited to provide a quality product for the community.”
“This soft-opening of both courses is important for welcoming back our loyal golfers,” says Matt Wilson, Regional General Manager for Billy Casper Golf. “Over the coming weeks and months, we are laser focused to bring course conditions to a very high level.”
Selected to manage Colony West in October, BCG is overseeing operations, marketing and sales, staffing and training, merchandising, restaurant activities, special events and financial management.
BCG has enacted its proprietary “BCGreen” initiative at Colony West to conserve, protect and enhance the environment, while also enrolling the course in the Audubon International “Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary” program.
The clubhouse will include a fully-stocked pro shop and grill room dining, making Colony West a natural setting for corporate outings, meetings and other social events.
