The private, previously member-owned property will undergo a million-dollar reinvention project under its new owner, which will include improvements to the golf course, clubhouse, and outdoor patio.
ClubCorp has acquired Oro Valley (Ariz.) Country Club, a private, previously member-owned club located at the base of the Santa Catalina Mountains. ClubCorp is planning a million-dollar reinvention project that will include improvements to the golf course, clubhouse and outdoor patio.
“We are very excited to reinforce our commitment to external growth by adding Oro Valley Country Club—and the Tucson market—to the ClubCorp Network,” said Eric Affeldt, ClubCorp’s president and CEO. “The club features an outstanding desert course that is not only beautiful but very playable. I think our members from throughout the country will enjoy visiting Oro Valley and the beautiful Tucson area.”
The site of various high-profile tournaments through the years, including the Ladies Pac-10, Southwest Amateurs and qualifying rounds for the U.S. Open and Arizona Open, the Oro Valley parkland-style 18-hole golf course offers Bentgrass greens and overseeded Bermuda fairways and roughs during the winter months.
Oro Valley’s 28,000-sq. ft. clubhouse features a grill, men’s and women’s card room, state-of-the-art fitness center, a 3,200-sq. ft. ballroom offering views of the mountains and golf course, and an additional 6,000 feet of outdoor covered space.
“Oro Valley members are very enthusiastic about ClubCorp—the value to membership that the ClubCorp Network brings, the company’s commitment to capital improvements and their history of success and leadership in the industry,” said Susan Wright, president of Oro Valley board of directors.
Oro Valley members will be able to enjoy ClubCorp’s unique O.N.E. program, which provides value-oriented benefits at the member’s home club, in their community and worldwide. Benefits include complimentary green fees and complimentary dining when traveling throughout the ClubCorp Network, which now includes more than 300 private clubs and access to special offerings at more than 1,000 hotels, resorts and entertainment venues.
The addition of Oro Valley continues the rapid expansion of ClubCorp’s overall portfolio of owned and operated clubs, which has increased by 35 percent since the company’s IPO in September 2013. ClubCorp’s portfolio of owned and operated clubs now stands at over 200 clubs in 26 states, the District of Columbia, Mexico and China.
