Bobby Jones Links

Our team spent the past two days at Live Oaks Golf Club in Jackson, Mississippi, helping prepare for the reopening of Roosevelt’s.

From cooking on the grill to assembling media gifts and handling countless details behind the scenes, everyone stepped up wherever they were needed. Our team and the staff at Live Oaks did an incredible job bringing it all together and making the reopening a success.

Please join us in welcoming Richard Rowell as the new General Manager of Mount Vernon Country Club!

We’re excited to welcome Richard to the Bobby Jones Links team and look forward to seeing the impact he’ll make at Mount Vernon Country Club!

“It’s all about the members,’’ Whitlock said. “When they start seeking elevated dining, we begin running specials. If we start selling a bunch of steaks, then it’s time to make a (more permanent) change. So, it’s essentially member-driven. We really have to know our clients and community."

Exciting things are happening at Travis Pointe Country Club.

As Travis Pointe prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2027, the club is investing $7 million in a major transformation of its clubhouse and championship golf course, setting the stage for its next chapter.

The multi-phase project will enhance nearly every aspect of the member experience, including:

• A completely new clubhouse bar and restaurant
• An expanded outdoor patio and gathering space
• A new entertainment lounge and theater
• Indoor golf simulators and expanded year-round amenities
• A comprehensive revitalization of the championship golf course, reopening in spring 2027

This investment honors the history and traditions that have shaped Travis Pointe over the past 50 years while creating an even stronger experience for current and future members.

We’re proud to professionally manage Travis Pointe Country Club and work alongside its Board, leadership team and staff during such an exciting time for the club.

Congratulations to the entire Travis Pointe community on this milestone and the exciting transformation ahead!
