Palmer opens latest Signature course at Mountain View Country Club
February 18, 2004
Ponte Vedra Beach, FL – Arnold Palmer headlined the grand opening festivities introducing Mountain View Country Club on February 13, 2004. This is the newest Arnold Palmer Signature Course and is located in LaQuinta, California.
“We are proud to have Mountain View Country Club as one of our newest designed courses and especially proud of the relationship with Toll Brothers, Inc. Mountain View is one of twelve courses owned or developed by Toll Brothers that have been designed by Palmer Course Design Company,” said Palmer. “This course represents my basic design philosophy. It is exciting and enjoyable for all players and respects and preserves the existing terrain.”
During a clinic, Palmer loosened up as he would for any competition, and answered questions from the invited guests. In an exhibition, Palmer played nine holes of the 7,483-yard par-72 golf course. He then held a press conference as part of the grand opening festivities. Joining Palmer for the events from Palmer Course Design Company were Vicki Martz, Vice President and Project Architect, and Thad Layton, Design Associate for Mountain View.
“Mountain View Country Club has dramatic elevation changes which we have incorporated into the course, along with the creation of a deep arroyo. A number of cascading water features, and five sets of tees on most holes make this an exciting, challenging course, yet a fun round of golf for every player,” said Martz.
Palmer Course Design Company is an international golf course planning and design organization formed by Palmer and Seay over thirty years ago. The foundation of its design and business philosophy is the genuine, traditional, and sound standard of excellence exhibited by Arnold Palmer, the game’s most famous player and ambassador. Whether the course is private, public, or resort, the Palmer standard of excellence is the foundation of every design. The Palmer Course Design Company has more than 300 active projects and open golf courses, covering 36 states and 20 countries.
