OB Sports Golf Management has been selected to mange Sandpines Golf Links in Florence, Ore. The Scottsdale, Arizona-based management company’s contract with the 18-hole course took effect February 2015.
The Rees Jones-designed golf course measures 7,190-yards from the Tournament Tees. The inward nine offers a traditional links-style golf experience, while the outer nine is reminiscent of golf more commonly found on the Monterey Peninsula. Sandpines Golf Links also features a 9,000-square-foot clubhouse and 250-acre planned community with more than 650 residential units to be developed.
“We are thrilled to be onboard at Sandpines Golf Links,” said C.A. Roberts, president and principal of OB Sports Golf Management, in a news release. “This famous golf facility has many wonderful attributes. We are eager to get started with a host of initiatives to enhance the overall experience for all customers visiting Sandpines.”
OB Sports manages more than 60 golf courses and country clubs nationwide including four others in Oregon: Tetherow Golf Club in Bend; Langdon Farms in Portland; Centennial Golf Club and Quail Point Golf Course, both in Medford.
“We look forward to a great relationship with OB Sports,” said Maureen Huntley, of SPG Properties LLC, owners of Sandpines Golf Links. “Their track record in Oregon as well as across the western United States gives them a good perspective on best practices and industry trends both on a local and national level.”
