BOBBY JONES LINKS SELECTED TO MANAGE DELAWARE’S MULLIGAN’S POINTE

More than just a golf course, Delaware community hub offers recreation, dining, entertainment and social events.

ALPHARETTA, GABobby Jones Links (BJL), the golf industry’s leading client-centric, boutique management company, proudly announces that it is now managing Mulligan’s Pointe in Georgetown, Delaware.

The tree-lined, walkable championship Edmund B. Ault design stretches to 6,659 yards and is flanked by a driving range, practice green and chipping and practice bunker area. The property also includes the popular Mulligan’s Pointe Bar & Grill, a lively destination for live music on weekends, trivia nights, music, bingo, and themed parties. The venue, with facilities accommodating up to 300 guests, is also popular for weddings, banquets, fundraisers, and corporate events. After its acquisition by Pete Townsend and Michelle DePalma-Townsend in 2018, the former Sussex Pines Country Club was transformed into a public facility focused on community involvement and accessibility.

“Mulligan’s Pointe is an incredibly fun and welcoming home away from home for many golfers in Central Delaware, and it’s a privilege that BJL has been entrusted with helping to preserve the culture, sense of place, and camaraderie that the course is known for – while maximizing service, efficiency and profitability,” said Doug Hellman, Bobby Jones Links Chief Development Officer.

According to DePalma-Townsend, the decision to select BJL to manage Mulligan’s Pointe came down to the people, the vision and the fit. “(Co-founder) Steve Willy and the BJL team impressed us with their profound understanding of our business and innovative solutions to steer Mulligan’s Pointe towards ongoing success,” she said. “Their expertise in optimizing operations and enhancing the customer journey will be incredibly beneficial. They bring a wealth of best practices, standard operational procedures and industry insights that we can leverage to streamline our processes, improve efficiency, and ultimately deliver even greater value to our members and guests.”

BJL will also help implement online booking systems and streamlined communication channels, helping to create a more seamless, convenient, and enjoyable experience for every guest. “With the support and resources of Bobby Jones Links we anticipate a dynamic period of growth and enhanced customer engagement across Mulligan’s Pointe” said DePalma-Townsend. “We foresee increased activity throughout our facilities, driven by the introduction of innovative programs, marketing initiatives and most importantly we are confident that the BJL team will have the people, systems and processes to manage the growth. It’s a very exciting time for us personally as we watch the changes and the progress.”

The Townsend’s also own Sports at the Beach, a 16-field youth baseball complex designed for league and tournament play. It attracts teams from across America and internationally. BJL will also help maximize efficiency on the 100-acre facility that includes dormitory-style housing for teams and coaches, recreational amenities, concessions and dining, pro shop and gift shop – as well as new pickleball courts.

The BJL team has already hit the ground running, beginning to implement new staff training procedures and back-end best practices. “We are very pleased to work for owners who have done such a good job taking care of its customers and making the course such an inviting and beloved destination,” Hellman said. “Our team is in a tremendous position to help Mulligan’s Pointe operate with utmost professionalism, ideal business practices, and staff training that takes a great customer experience to new heights without changing the character or approachability of property that locals really love.”
