FLETCHER — The Greater Asheville Regional Airport Authority recently finalized its purchase of Broadmoor Golf Links at 101 French Broad Lane.

In addition, the GARAA executed a management agreement with DreamCatcher Broadmoor to operate and manage the golf course on behalf of the Airport Authority.

The new management of the golf course began at 12:01 a.m. Aug. 1. 

DreamCatcher has partnered with KemperSports, which a press release described as “a leading golf course management firm with extensive expertise, to manage the course on its behalf” with a mission to “create a rewarding and memorable golf experience for its guests.”

“The acquisition of the property is important for the Airport Authority,” Lew Bleiweis, A.A.E., executive director of the GARAA, stated in the press release. 

“We are able to protect the airport with continued compatible land use on the property and simultaneously diversify the airport’s future revenue sources. This purchase will generate a positive return to support the future vitality of our region’s airport,” Bleiweis added.

While the full operational transition may take a few weeks to complete, the release noted, it should be smooth for customers – tee times, upcoming events or other scheduled business with Broadmoor will continue. 

Customers may contact the golf course per usual, and additional information is located at www.broadmoorgolflinks.com, the release stated.
