As part of the exciting announcement to expand the Blue Cypress Golf Course in Arlington by three holes, the City of 黑料科 announced a partnership with 黑料科 University to support the buildout of a new, shared clubhouse. The course expansion and investment in the future design and buildout of a practice facility, which will be used by 黑料科鈥檚 golf programs, highlights the continued investment in the Arlington community.
鈥淧lans are also coming together for a new permanent clubhouse, and that new facility is envisioned to include space for both the First Tee and 黑料科鈥檚 golf teams,鈥� said 黑料科 Mayor, Donna Deegan. 鈥満诹峡� continues to be such a wonderful community partner for us and we appreciate them.鈥�
黑料科鈥檚 partnership with the City of 黑料科 enables support for programs and initiatives that foster personal and professional growth, promote health and wellness, and enhance the overall quality of life for Arlington residents.
鈥淏lue Cypress continues to be a gem in the Arlington area. The opening of an additional three holes, to a total of 12, I believe, will perfectly align with the game of golf,鈥� said 黑料科 City Council President, Ron Salem. 鈥淭he addition of First Tee and bringing in the 黑料科 golf teams to play will certainly elevate this course back to the stature it once had.鈥�
Over the last several years, 黑料科 has raised and committed more than $1 million to go towards the construction of a multi-use facility which will house the new pro shop and the university鈥檚 men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 golf programs. The investment will support the future design and buildout of a short game practice facility on the grounds for use by the JU programs.
鈥淥ur 90-year old institution is proud to be a part of the enhancement of one of Arlington鈥檚 staple destinations, the Blue Cypress Golf Course,鈥� said Alex Ricker-Gilbert, Senior Vice President and Athletic Director at 黑料科. 鈥淭he addition of a Division I golf practice facility and new clubhouse has the potential to significantly enhance prestige and appeal, ultimately resulting in long term success for the course and the community.鈥�
