The new owner of the Independence, Mo., property is planning to reconfigure and renovate the clubhouse to make room for a circuit training center, which will include a wiffle ball practice area, that is expected to be completed by February 2015.
Drumm Farm Golf Club in Independence, Mo., is now under new ownership, and with that comes some new additions, the Independence-based Examiner reported.
The semi-private, 280-acre golf course was sold to GreatLife Golf and Fitness at an unknown sum, according to General Manager Dustin Newman. The new parent company, based out of Topeka, Kan., has more than 20 other golf courses throughout the greater Kansas City area, Missouri and Kansas, the Examiner reported.
All of Drumm Farm Golf Club’s current employees, including its professional PGA golf instructors, will remain employed at the club, Newman said.
GreatLife is planning some renovations and fitness equipment additions at Drumm Farm’s clubhouse, said Newman. Beginning in mid December, the clubhouse will undergo some reconfiguration and renovation to make room for a new circuit training center that includes a wiffle ball practice area. A bench press and machine squat will be added to the clubhouse’s lower level and cardio equipment, such as treadmills, will be available at the upper level. The fitness center is expected to be completed and open by early February, the Examiner reported.
Newman also said the club’s previous owners, Lincoln, Neb.-based Landscapes Unlimited, was ready to move on from its Independence project and looking for a change in its portfolio. It had owned the golf course since 2002 and recently changed it from a public to semi-private golf club in May 2013. Now with new management, Drumm Farm will continue to be a semi-private, par-72 course along with its par-30, nine-hole Executive Course. The 220-member club was sold to GreatLife Golf and Fitness on October 31, the Examiner reported.
