Atlanta, Georgia– Affiniti Golf Partners continues to add to its growing stable of managed golf club properties with the addition of Harbor Club, a 20-year-old cornerstone of Georgia’s most acclaimed residential and resort golf destination at the scenic 19,000-acre Lake Oconee.
Harbor Club is a 1,000-acre planned, gated community framed by nine miles of beautiful lakefront in Greensboro, GA, halfway between Augusta and Atlanta. Its centerpiece is the highly awarded Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish-designed golf course that elevated the sport in the Peach State when it opened in 1991. Most recently, Harbor Club’s course earned top honors from the Zagat Survey being included among “America’s Top Golf Courses” in 2009 and 2010 and given four and a half out of five stars by Golf Digest as “Best Places to Play” for the past three years.
The Harbor Club community and all of its amenities will remain under the same ownership that has prevailed since 1993, the Matney family out of Bristol, VA and
Greensboro, Georgia. “In our conversations with Affiniti Golf Partners, it was clear that their team holds a profound stake in all who spend time at The Harbor Club,” states Harbor Club owner John Matney. “Whether it be the 20-year resident or the weekend golf vacationer, Affiniti’s significant presence in the Georgia golf market and knowledge of golf communities made them the easy choice to manage our club.”
“The opportunity at Harbor Club is wonderfully welcome,” says Steve Willy, founding partner at Affiniti. “Between the architectural pedigree of the golf course, the fiscal strength of the club and the pristine lake setting of the community, we have an uncommon opportunity to achieve their goal of continued prosperity.”
In addition to managing all golf operations, Affiniti will oversee see the dining, maintenance, pool, tennis, swim, and lodging functions at Harbor Club.
