Arcis Golf – the second largest and fastest-growing owner and operator of private, resort and daily fee clubs in the United States – has added TPC River’s Bend in Maineville, Ohio, to its growing portfolio. This is the 10th club acquisition completed by Arcis in less than a year and a half.
TPC River’s Bend is a highly regarded and upscale private golf club situated approximately 25 miles northeast of Cincinnati. It joins the Arcis portfolio of nearly 70 clubs and is the sixth private club in Ohio, where the company already owns Four Bridges Country Club in the Cincinnati-area, The Club at Tartan Fields in Columbus and three others in the Cleveland-area.
TPC River’s Bend will continue to operate as a licensed TPC property, meaning it will remain a part of the prestigious TPC Network.
“Ohio is an important market for Arcis and adding TPC River’s Bend to the portfolio continues to elevate our offerings in this region,” said Blake Walker, Founder and CEO of Arcis Golf.
Walker added that the company will expand golf, food, and programming options for members of River’s Bend and Four Bridges, which are only 15-minutes apart.
“We want each Club to continue to have its own identity while offering members additional amenities and lifestyle offerings.’’
TPC River’s Bend par-72, 7,180-yard layout, designed by Arnold Palmer, was crafted to blend harmoniously with its surroundings. The course meanders through corridors of mature hardwoods, creeks, and waterfalls.
The Club also boasts a 12-acre practice facility, which includes multiple tees as well as a short-game practice area for chipping and putting. The course is designated an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary by Audubon International.
Between 2002 and 2004, it was the venue for the Kroger Classic, a tournament on the PGA TOUR Champions. From 2010 to 2012, it hosted the Chiquita Classic on what is now the Korn Ferry Tour. In 2021, the Club hosted professional-development events for both the Forme Tour (PGA TOUR) and Symetra Tour (LPGA).
“Since 2002, the TPC Network has had the privilege to partner with members, staff, and guests to own and operate TPC River’s Bend,” said John Hugghins, Senior Vice President, TPC Operations. “Arcis’s history of reinvesting heavily in its assets and demonstrated ability to provide the highest-quality experience consistent with the TPC brand is why we are confident and excited to entrust them with TPC River’s Bend.”
According to Walker, near-term plans include enhanced food and beverage experiences and new dining options in TPC River’s Bend 30,000-square-foot clubhouse.www.arcisgolf.com.
