PGA TOUR’S TPC CANYONS TO BE RENAMED “TPC LAS VEGAS”
TPC
LAS VEGAS, NV (December 11, 2007) – The PGA TOUR announced today that TPC Canyons in Las Vegas, part of the TOUR’s TPC Network of premier private and resort golf facilities, will be renamed TPC Las Vegas, effective immediately. The renaming is part of an overall re-positioning initiative designed to more closely align the club with the worldwide resort destination of Las Vegas, as well as to celebrate the rich history and storied past of golf in the city of Las Vegas.
National advertising reflecting the name change will begin running in mid-December. Over time, all of the club’s branding materials, including the logo, club signage, etc. will transition to the TPC Las Vegas name. A major component of the re-positioning will be an extensive re-design of the clubhouse interior with artifacts, photographs and memorabilia depicting great moments in Las Vegas golf history, and paying tribute to the players, tournaments and iconic personalities that have transformed the city of Las Vegas into one of the most exciting, dynamic and desirable golf resort destinations in the world. The club’s caddie program will further help bring to life the story of golf in
“We are very excited about the re-positioning of the club, which will have a dramatic effect on our ability to market the property to a worldwide audience of leisure and business travelers, event planners and conventioneers,” said General Manager Dan Hammell. “At the same time, our tribute to the history of golf in

TURF REMOVAL PROJECT RESULTS IN NEW LOOK AT ANGEL PARK GOLF CLUB AND THE LEGACY GOLF CLUB
Project estimated to conserve approximately 80 million gallons of water per year
LAS VEGAS, Nevada – OB Sports Golf Management, management group for Angel Park and The Legacy Golf Clubs, recently completed an ambitious turf removal project designed to limit the amount out-of-play turf on two of its Las Vegas golf clubs. The project, conducted in conjunction with the Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA), removed approximately 70 acres of turf at Angel Park alone, which translates into nearly a 28 percent reduction of turf overall at the 36-hole facility.
“Despite public perception, golf courses are very efficient users of water,” said Phil Green, President of OB Sports. “We have computerized irrigation systems; well schooled agronomists and superintendents on staff; sophisticated weather monitoring systems that help us efficiently manage water consumption and a number of years ago we converted from potable water to effluent. Although that’s a great start, we are still looking for ways to conserve water and this project is certainly helping us accomplish that goal.”
Roughly 33 acres of turf was removed from Angel Park’s 18-hole Mountain Course and nearly as much from the 18-hole golf course at The Legacy Golf Club. Since the turf was being removed from out-of-play areas, all of the golf courses remained open for public play during the process.
“The new Southwest Desert look has received rave reviews by the golfers,” said Bill Rohret, Director of Maintenance at Angel Park Golf Club. “Some of the regulars have literally stopped me out on the golf course to compliment our work. But not only does it look great, we estimate that we will conserve somewhere around 80 million gallons of water per year.”
In the end the project will positively impact several aspects of play. Aesthetically speaking, it delivers a more visually appealing product that basically appears like a modern golf course redesign. And although there is certainly less turf, the removal focuses on out-of-play areas that average golfers don’t typically find anyway. Time spent per round is expected to decrease due to the fact that golf balls will be easier to find in desert landscaping than they are in the long rough. Plus, in some areas the turf was removed and sloping mounds were formed in place of the turf. This may allow errant golf balls to bounce or roll back onto the playing surface.
The Legacy Golf Club, a true test of golf at 7,233 yards from the back tees, is conveniently located 10 minutes from McCarran International Airport. The 10th hole may be the most recognizable in Las Vegas with tee boxes in the shape of a spade, club, diamond and heart. The rest of the course is memorable as well, especially the “Devil’s triangle,” holes 11, 12 and 13 that are crisscrossed with desert canyons and lava outcroppings. In fact, the 13th hole recently received honorable mention as “The Best Par-4 in Las Vegas” by VegasGolfer magazine in its annual poll of readers and staffers. | Book your tee time at The Legacy Golf Club online now.
