Renovations Bring Championship Play to Golf Enthusiasts and University Club Plantation Residents
BATON ROUGE, Louisiana – Stirling Properties, the management firm for University Club and the exclusive sales and marketing firm for University Club Plantation, celebrates the newly renovated 18-hole championship golf course. PGA Pro David Toms unveiled the redesign yesterday at a special event for University Club Plantation residents, club members, and those interested in membership. Attendees of the September 16th event saw firsthand how the renovations transformed University Club into a course unlike any other in the Southeast.
The renovation project began nine months ago through the support of the LSU Golf program and the Tiger Athletic Foundation. Nationally renowned golf course architect, Jim Lipe along with David Toms designed a course that now includes a new set of championship tees, expanded lakes, the addition of over 500 trees, and a par 72 layout that extends to approximately 7,600 yards. Adding these features will test a player’s accuracy, allow members to play from distances that match their skill level, and provide challenging options for collegiate, amateur and professional tournament play. Based on the course plans, the NCAA has named the University Club and the LSU Men’s Golf Team as hosts for the 2013 NCAA Division 1 Regionals.
University Club Plantation’s newly renovated 18-hole golf course at University Club is just one feature that makes living in this prestigious, master-planned community appealing. Additional Features include private swimming and tennis facilities and a grill room for food and fellowship. Limited home sites are still available so for more information or to schedule a tour, contact Lenore Roberts at (225) 767-4653.

Infrastructure Progress is Underway for Development’s Next Phase
COVINGTON, Louisiana – Since unveiling plans in April for River Chase, a master planned, multi-use development in the heart of Western St. Tammany Parish, Stirling Properties successfully closed two land sales and has begun construction on the next phase of development. In August, two prime outparcels were sold in River Chase. Lakshmi, LLC purchased a 1.795 acre tract to build a 54,000 square foot Candlewood Suites Hotel. This extended-stay hotel chain owned by InterContinental Hotels Group will house a combination of approximately 93 studio and one-bedroom suites. Also purchased was a 1.634 acre tract by Fidelity Homestead Savings Bank. The purchaser intends to build a new 5,500 square foot Fidelity branch location, the second in the Covington area, which will provide a full array of banking services to the community.
The next phase for River Chase began in June and includes work to construct roads and utility infrastructure. Stirling Boulevard currently provides access to the existing retailers by way of Brewster Road. Road work to extend Stirling Boulevard will be completed before Thanksgiving which will create access to an additional 74 acres of developable land and open the development up for future phases of River Chase retail. Mark Salvetti, Director of Project Management for Stirling Properties, explained that telephone and gas distribution along with drainage expansion are among the other additional infrastructure enhancements already in progress. Lighting and traffic signals are also under construction for Stirling Boulevard and Brewster Road along with comprehensive signage and branding upgrades.
“In an environment that has very little positive development activity, Stirling Properties is excited to be able to move forward with this project,” stated Townsend Underhill, Stirling Properties’ Vice President of Development. “River Chase will offer something unique to the community and is a project we are fortunate to be able to provide.”
