Arcis Golf acquires TPC River’s Bend

Arcis Golf has added TPC River’s Bend in Maineville, Ohio, to its portfolio. The deal represents 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 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 owns Four Bridges Country Club near Cincinnati, The Club at Tartan Fields in Columbus and three other clubs 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 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,” Arcis Golf CEO and founder Blake Walker said.  Walker added that the company will expand golf, food, and programming options for members of TPC River’s Bend and Four Bridges. The clubs are 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 is a par-72, 7,180-yard layout designed by Arnold Palmer. The course meanders through corridors of mature hardwoods, creeks, and waterfalls, and features gentle elevation changes. Water comes into play on six holes. TPC River’s Bend offers multiple sets of tees, including a set of family tees for novice golfers.  

The club 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.

TPC River’s Bend hosted the Kroger Classic, a tournament on the PGA Tour Champions, from 2002-04. It also hosted the Chiquita Classic on what is now the Korn Ferry Tour from 2010-12.

“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.”
