BrightView Golf Maintenance, the premier provider for golf course maintenance services, recently added to its industry-leading portfolio of 29 municipal partners by signing a partnership agreement with the City of Gainesville at its 18-hole Ironwood Golf Club, located in north-central Florida.

BrightView will be responsible for all aspects of course maintenance, including turf, irrigation, and equipment, with its primary focus on improving golf course conditions.

“This is a great opportunity for BrightView to demonstrate its core capabilities on improving playing surfaces and overall course conditions,” said Terry McGuire, Vice President of BrightView Golf Maintenance. “We are looking forward to meeting player expectations by implementing BrightView’s comprehensive prescriptive-based agronomic plan.”

Located in the hometown of the University of Florida and its Florida Gators sports teams, Ironwood Golf Course is an 18-hole municipal course with an outstanding layout sculptured around century-old pines and shimmering lakes, contoured fairways, and strategically placed bunkers. The course is owned by the City of Gainesville.

“We are extremely excited to have BrightView join the Ironwood family,” said Jeff Cardozo, Ironwood Golf Course Manager. “Their research, attention to detail about the golf course, and their willingness to continue our Audubon certification made it a no-brainer when looking for a maintenance company to provide their services to the city of Gainesville. From day one, they have jumped in and implemented many things that show their vision for the course and we look forward to joining their vast portfolio of well-maintained golf courses.”

With 40 years of experience and more than 80 partner courses, BrightView Golf Maintenance has refined the art, science, and operations of golf course maintenance to bring their clients better playing conditions, reductions in cost, and improved crew training.

Continuing its mission as the premier provider of golf course maintenance services, BrightView Golf Maintenance added to its industry-leading portfolio by signing a partnership agreement with the Southport residential community on Cape Cod to maintain their 9-hole golf course. This marks BrightView’s ninth residential community golf course and fourth in the Northeast.

BrightView will be responsible for all aspects of course maintenance, including turf, irrigation, and equipment, with a main priority to always provide the finest golf course conditions.

“While experienced in all types of golf facilities, BrightView has a proven niche partnering with residential communities,” said Vince Gilmartin, Vice President of BrightView Golf Maintenance. “We understand the unique passion residents have for their golf courses in these communities and look forward to leveraging our customized planning and processes to help Southport succeed, especially in terms of conditions that drive member and resident satisfaction.”

Southport is an elegant 55+ community developed specifically for active adults located on Cape Cod in Mashpee, Mass. Residents enjoy a low-maintenance lifestyle with beautifully designed homes. A clubhouse with well-appointed amenities, such as indoor and outdoor heated pools, a fitness center, aerobics room, tennis courts, and the golf course, offer homeowners endless opportunities to stay socially and physically active. In addition to maintaining the golf course, BrightView was also selected to handle all the landscape maintenance throughout the Southport community.

One of the key reasons Southport has been acclaimed as one of the top retirement communities in Massachusetts is because of their exceptional golf course. It has been described as one of “the real gems of all Cape Cod golf courses.”

With 40 years of experience and more than 80 partner courses, BrightView has refined the art, science, and operations of golf course maintenance to bring their clients better playing conditions, reductions in cost, and improved crew training.

BLUE BELL, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- BrightView Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BV) (the “Company” or “BrightView”), the leading commercial landscaping services company in the United States, today reported unaudited results for the first quarter ended December 31, 2021.

“We are pleased with Maintenance Land revenue growth of 11.0% and Land organic revenue growth of 7.3%. Combined with the results of BrightView’s strong-on-strong acquisition strategy, and the benefits of the investments we are making in our expanded sales team and sales enablement technologies, we realized continued healthy growth in spite of continued pandemic impacts,” said Andrew Masterman, BrightView President and Chief Executive Officer. “Increased land revenue delivered $3.2 million improved EBITDA, driven by 7.3% organic growth, giving optimism for future quarters that our teams are executing despite significant labor and material inflationary pressures. Historically low snowfall totals across our geographic footprint and material cost inflation impacted the quarter, but the fundamentals of our business and industry remain vibrant and we continue to have a resilient business model. During the quarter we authorized a $250 million share repurchase program and in January completed the repurchase of approximately $82.5 million of BrightView shares. Additionally, continued positive net new sales in our Maintenance Segment and robust backlogs and proactive initiatives to offset inflation in our Development Segment are why I am confident in our ability to deliver continued profitable growth.”
