Bobby Jones Links now is managing Saddle Creek Golf Club in Lewisburg, TN.
Located on rolling terrain about 45 minutes south of Nashville, this picturesque, 6,700-yard Gene Bates design features subtly contoured, tree-lined fairways with the scenic Snake Creek dictating strategy on several holes. Saddle Creek has been a favorite destination for local golfers for three decades.
“I’m excited to have BJL help us improve the day-to-day operations and elevate the customer experience,” said Eddie Roberts, owner of Saddle Creek Golf Club. “They’re experts at training, building, and empowering staff at courses like ours. Their practical approach and resources for managing thriving food and beverage operations, as well as accounting systems, are what we really like. We’re excited for the future with BJL at the helm, bringing best practices and better overall golfing experiences for our locals.”
BJL will revitalize Saddle Creek’s once-dormant food and beverage operations, and immediately start enhancing to the aesthetics and playability of the golf course, including rebuilding the golf course’s bunkers, drainage, and irrigation system. The growing management company working in Bobby Jones’ name will also implement culture-based staff training and development, along with AI-supported business practices and accounting.
“Eddie owns several successful businesses in Lewisburg. He’s committed to making Saddle Creek the favorite golf and social hub of the Lewisburg community, and we’re honored to partner with him to make this happen,” said Doug Hellman, Bobby Jones Links’ chief development officer. “After only a few weeks, our team has upgraded technology, developed a business plan to reopen the food and beverage operations, and rolled out our staff training program.”
Roberts said the timing is ideal given the steady growth of the surrounding community, accompanied by a rise in the number of golf rounds at Saddle Creek. The reinvigorated food and beverage operation is a tremendous starting point in a vision to make Saddle Creek a reliable, go-to destination for the local clientele.
“Lewisburg is really growing. People are moving here from all parts of the country, and there are several hundred homes currently being permitted. BJL’s expertise in managing staff is exactly what we need to keep up with this growth.’’
