TPC Tampa Bay Joins The Heritage Collection

Heritage Golf Group, a San Diego, CA based luxury golf course owner and operator, recently purchased TPC Tampa Bay in Lutz, FL. TPC Tampa Bay is the fifth TPC property to become part of the Heritage Collection as part of a strategic alliance formed in 2007 with the PGA Tour. Previous transactions included TPC Eagle Trace in Coral Springs, FL; TPC Michigan in Dearborn, MI; TPC Piper Glen in Charlotte, NC; and TPC Prestancia in Sarasota, FL. Under the terms of the sales transaction, TPC Tampa Bay will be owned and managed by Heritage Golf Group, but will continue to operate under the TPC brand through a license agreement. 

“TPC Tampa Bay is an outstanding addition to the Heritage Collection,” said 25-year golf industry veteran Bob Husband, president and chief executive officer of Heritage Golf Group, a current PGA of America member and a former PGA Tour player. “As home of the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am and a premier resort destination, we are confident TPC Tampa Bay will add variety to our portfolio in Florida while maintaining the highest standards of service and quality we share with the PGA Tour.”

“Our strategic alliance with Heritage Golf Group is a logical extension of our efforts to provide PGA Tour Experiences for our members and guests,” said David Pillsbury, president of PGA Tour Golf Course Properties. “By harnessing the natural synergies between our companies, we can deliver a better, more valuable golf experience for our collective members and guests. Ultimately, we envision a network of more than 40 affiliated clubs, all of which share similar quality and service standards. This alliance represents a significant step towards making this unprecedented strategy a reality.”
