Henderson, NV (February 19, 2014) – Pacific Links International (PLI) announced today that it will acquire
its third Nevada course - DragonRidge Country Club. DragonRidge will be the 11th owned property added
to the company’s growing portfolio of courses. Pacific Links memberships feature a unique reciprocal
access structure offering members access to more than 100 world-class clubs around the globe.
“Vegas is one of the premier golf destinations in the world, and Pacific Links is pleased to add
DragonRidge to its Nevada roster,” said Bruce Simmonds, Chief Executive Officer of Pacific Links
International. “We pride ourselves on the ability to offer members a diverse collection of exceptional golf
experiences and expect to continue to grow our presence throughout Nevada and other signature golf
destinations. As Pacific Links launches the new DragonRidge membership in the coming months, together
with its continued growth, there seems to be no better time to join this formidable program.”
Named after a rocky ridge that is known to residents as the “Sleeping Dragon,” the 6,975 yard, par 72
championship golf course was designed by Jay Morrish and David Druzisky to be a true "Members’
Course" that is challenging for all skill levels. Located at the base of the Black Mountain Range in
Henderson, DragonRidge has been rated “Best Upscale Golf Course” and “Best Golf Course Luxury
Community” by Vegas Golfer Magazine. Opened in 2000, the club was ranked among 2001’s “Best New
Courses” by Golf Digest.
The DragonRidge Tennis and Athletic Center offers a complete selection of state-of-the-art fitness
equipment, private training programs, a variety of recreational activities, educational lectures, classes
and programs focused on healthy lifestyles and wellness. The center boasts fully amenitized locker
rooms, a café, lighted tennis courts and outdoor volleyball and basketball courts.
“It was important to ensure that the buyers of DragonRidge would sustain the club’s integrity and
commitment to providing first-class services,” said Rich McDonald, former owner of DragonRidge Country
Club. “With its reputation and expertise in the industry, I am confident that Pacific Links International will
not only maintain, but enhance the member experience at DragonRidge.”

acquire leading golf properties in targeted markets. Members enjoy more variety, flexibility and a wider
