UNDER ONE UMBRELLA

APDC offers the first complete turn-key package for golf under a marquis brand. In addition to providing great course design, Arnold Palmer-owned companies offer clients construction supervision/shaping, golf course operation/maintenance and tournament services. Through partners such as Rain Bird, Textron, Profile and SubAir, we can supply irrigation and maintenance equipment, golf carts, and products for soil amendment, erosion control and greens aerification—at international discount pricing with guaranteed personal service. Arnold Palmer licensees provide a range of apparel, golf equipment, fine wines and beverages, and golf art and memorabilia for the pro shop and clubhouse.

Arnold Palmer-branded real estate comes with an Arnold Palmer Premier facility. Immensely appealing, Palmer Place is a neighborhood of comfortable second homes located close to the clubhouse and community amenities with great indoor/outdoor living spaces. Personalized hospitality and one-of-a-kind memorabilia accompany each of these special golf homes. APDC provides site planning of the neighborhood and architectural review of the homes.

Most importantly, an agreement with APDC allows communication with one-of-a-kind brand distinction. Mr. Palmer is an American hero and a worldwide headliner with longevity and likeability unlike any other sportsman. Association with Arnold Palmer and the brand brings instant recognition. It enhances real estate value and creates the image of a community lifestyle that people want to live.

Golf courses designed by APDC are opened with anticipation, grow in value, are consistently recognized in the “Top” lists of golf magazines and sought after as Professional tournament venues. Long-standing relationships with other top brands such as Cessna and Rolex confirm the value of an association with Mr. Palmer. For these reasons the Arnold Palmer brand represents a sustained achievement that people have grown to trust.

In addition to the overwhelming strength of the brand, developers can expect Mr. Palmer to personalize voice, electronic or DVD recordings for their courses. APDC can manage opening events and ceremonies, as well as coordinate publicity and press releases. The APDC trademark can be used on all approved communication materials. Editorial will be placed in Arnold Palmer–owned media, including arnoldpalmer.com and Kingdom magazine. Opportunities exist to participate in the Arnold Palmer Invitational, a PGA Tour event, whether that be sponsorship, luxury client entertainment or playing in the Pro-Am. Bay Hill Club and Lodge and Latrobe Country Club are also available as hospitality and play venues year-round, and clients are always welcome to play in the Arnold Palmer–hosted Kingdom Cup.

If desired, a full range of graphic design services are available, including production of membership brochures, course and real estate advertisements, websites, email presentations and stunning course photography.
