“Landscapes Golf Management was our No. 1 choice to lead our club into the future,” Arlington Ridge Development District board member Robert Hoover said. “We chose to go with LGM due to the depth of the company’s support team, its service culture and overall ability to create high-performing operations with healthy financial returns.”

The course features five sets of tee boxes from 4,877 to 6,610 total yards. Arlington Ridge also boasts a professional caliber driving range and putting green.
Landscapes Golf Management now operates more than 70 properties across 25 states.
