Ohio, Florida cities extend partnerships with Billy Casper Golf

The City of Euclid (Ohio) and the City of Fernandina Beach (Fla.) have extended their partnerships with Billy Casper Golf for the company to manage perennial favorites Briardale Greens Golf Course and Fernandina Beach Golf Club, respectively.

Under BCG management since 2010, BCG returned Briardale Greens to profitably in two years. Course conditions have improved, earning Briardale the “Best Greens in Northeastern Ohio” award by the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Installation of a new irrigation control system and satellite boxes have added to overall appeal and playability. The course has benefitted from new golf carts and maintenance equipment, procured at substantial savings by BCG’s national accounts division.

“The Billy Casper Golf team has elevated Briardale Greens to new heights,” City of Euclid Mayor Bill Cervenik said. “We are thrilled with the course’s return to prominence and excited for generations of locals to play great golf here”

BCG’s success at Fernandina Beach since 2010 include the conservation of the South Course’s greens and ongoing restoration of the West Course’s greens to Champion Bermudagrass. Funded by BCG, these and other extensive renovations have met with rave reviews from golfers and City officials as enriched playing surfaces are increasing rounds.

“There’s a new vibe at our golf courses,” Fernandina Beach Golf Club general manager Josh O’Brien said. “Better course conditions and programs involving the community have golfers flocking to the fairways.”
