Starting Sept. 1, Hampton Golf will provide management services to Selva Marina Country Club in Atlantic Beach. Under the contract, Hampton Golf will make improvements to the club’s facilities and manage the club, including golf, tennis, aquatics, food and beverage, catering, maintenance and customer service. The contract will add about 45 employees to the Hampton Golf team. “Selva Marina has a long-standing history in the Jacksonville community and it is our ultimate goal to revitalize the club and reintroduce it to Northeast Florida,” said M.G. Orender, president and CEO of Hampton Golf and former president of the PGA of America. Founded in 1958, Selva Marina includes an 18-hole, par-72 golf course featuring a driving range as well as practice, pitching and putting greens. It is the former home to the Greater Jacksonville Open, now known as The Players Championship.
