The new owners of Arabia Golf Course in Hoke County, N.C., are planning a number of improvements at the 18-hole public facility.
Local businessman Johnny Boyles, who purchased the property earlier this month with two partners, said they plan to replace the turf on the tees and greens and to purchase new maintenance equipment. A new clubhouse also will be built in the future, he said.
Sale price for the property – which will be renamed Upland Trace Golf Course — was not disclosed. Previous owners of the property, which reportedly had been on the market since November and was near foreclosure prior to the sale, were Martha Anne Hendrix and Phillip Beal.
