Ahwatukee Golf Properties Changes Name to Foothills Golf Group

(Phoenix, Ariz.) - Ahwatukee Golf Properties, owners of five Phoenix area golf facilities, has officially changed its company name to the Foothills Golf Group. The new name will provide a better tie to the geographic location of the facilities owned by the group and also tie into the company's most recent course acquisition: The Foothills Golf Club. This course was added into their Phoenix portfolio in December of 2011. Other Foothills Golf Group facilities include Club West Golf Club, Ahwatukee Country Club, The Lakes Golf Club and The Duke Golf Club.

"Our new name better embraces our facilities that grace the foothill region of this part Phoenix. It also creates new marketing and branding opportunities that will tie these popular facilities together more cohesively," stated Terry Duggan, president of the Foothills Golf Group.

The new name of the company also comes on the heels of their announcement of a new multi-club membership program. The Foothills Golf Group's new Saguaro Club membership program offers member benefits at all five Foothill Golf Group facilities. Members also receive practice facility privileges at all five courses, golf shop and restaurant discounts and a full slate of both golf and social events. With no initiation fees and dues offerings that start at $267, this five-club membership promises to be one of the better membership values in the region.
