Introducing The Oaks Club at Valencia
"The Oaks Club at Valencia" is the new name selected for a recently-acquired Arcis Golf property in Southern California's oak-laden Santa Clarita Valley, located northwest of downtown Los Angeles. The Oaks Club at Valencia is an upscale, private club that had previously been part of the TPC Network of golf properties, formerly known as TPC Valencia. The new name reflects the club's deep roots in the community and pays tribute to the Oaks legacy of the land. "Beyond the new name, this change is about a renewal of the club's individuality and character," said Blake Walker, chairman and CEO of Dallas-based Arcis Golf, which owns and operates both The Oaks Club at Valencia and nearby Valencia Country Club. "It is a more suitable representation of our memberships' identity and the relationships the club has built throughout the valley." With the two affiliated golf clubs on opposite sides of Interstate 5, Arcis Golf now serves a collection of affluent communities throughout the valley, as well as the residents of nearby Newhall Ranch. Among the major improvements planned for The Oaks Club at Valencia is a multi-million-dollar clubhouse renovation, beginning late this summer. The focal point will be a completely-transformed member restaurant and dining experience for the club's diverse membership. The private event space will be enhanced to fortify the club's position as the preeminent wedding venue in the valley. 288-1995
