The Scottsdale, Ariz., property, which includes two championship golf courses designed by Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish, boulder and desert landscaping, a practice facility, and clubhouse, has no stated asking price. Troon North Golf Club LLC currently owns the courses.

Phase II of the “Marbella, Reinvented” improvement initiative at the San Juan Capistrano, Calif. property replaced old dining venues with a new main dining room with a built-in action station and pizza oven, an enlarged Mixed Grille with gathering tables, a new “captivating interaction bar” and improvements to the Catalonia Terrace.

A $2 million restoration of the Daufuskie Island, S.C. course has yielded disappointing results, so the owner is now proposing to turn the clubhouse into an inn and develop as much as 50,000 sq. ft. of commercial space. Annual rounds of 35,000 are needed to make the club financially viable, one planner said, “but they’re lucky if they can get 2,000 per year at this destination.”

Encouraged by adventurous golfers, creative greens chairmen are now scheduling their own takes on reverse or cross-country golf days at their properties, a practice that dates back to The Old Course at St Andrews. “It’s astounding how different the terrain looks when you are coming down the fairway from the other side,” said golfer Mike Mosely at Crestwood Golf Club in Marcy, N.Y. “It’s like a whole other golf course.”

The private club in Prescott, Ariz., will reopen after three years of restorations with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, golf tournament, badminton, bocce, and croquet games. Formerly known as Hassayampa Golf Club, the nearly century-old property is under new ownership that seeks to re-brand as “family friendly.”

Frost Creek, formerly known as Adam’s Mountain Country Club in Eagle, Colo., has more than tripled its membership numbers under new owner Brue Capital. The Golf Club at South River in Edgewater, Md., is also reporting membership growth, thanks in part to a recent clubhouse renovation and restructured membership options.

Renovations are underway at the Prescott, Ariz., property’s clubhouse, which is scheduled to open in May, and improvements to the golf course should be complete by July 4.

Original course architect Tom Weiskopf has led the extensive renovation, including resurfacing and relocating greens, tees and bunkers. The course will reopen for play November 14.

After being closed for five years, new ownership of the 7,500-yard course that is bordered by the Bridger-Teton National Forest has spent $5 million to replace all greens with bent grass and restore all bunkers. As part of enlarging practice facilities, a new short-game practice green was created.

If final approvals are made in early February, the Stadium Course, built in 1987 by Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish, could see improvements extending to irrigation, greens, cart paths, bunkers, and the clubhouse. The project could start in April and be complete in time for the Waste Management Phoenix Open in 2015.

Atlanta-based Cygnus Capital Real Estate Advisors has launched a multi-million dollar reinvestment plan for the private, 554-acre Jackson Hole, Wyo., club. Renovation details include the completion of a 26,000-sq. ft. clubhouse facility, with plans for reopening a Tom Weiskopf golf course, family-focused amenities, and a collection of turnkey luxury cabins in 2014.

Atlanta-based investment firm Cygnus Capital Real Estate Advisors acquired the Jackson Hole, Wyo., property in February and has already invested $11.5 million. A $2 million golf course redesign by Tom Weiskopf that will include a short game area is expected to be complete by next May.

Audubon International is recognizing the environmental stewardship efforts of the Colorado Springs, Colo., club. The club obtained the designation by working to maintain wildlife habitats, conserving water, and utilizing pest management programs that withstand disease and weed pressures while reducing chemical inputs.

An impressive new array of year-found activities at Yellowstone Club is helping this prestigious property bounce back in full stride.
