GLENVIEW, Ill. (Jan. 30, 2006) -- Crown Golf Properties, the Chicago, Ill.-based golf-course management company, announced that an agreement has been reached with Westchase Golf Club in Tampa, Fla., to manage the community’s golf operations.

Westchase will be the eighth Crown Golf-managed course in Florida. Winnetka, Ill.-based Sano Corporation closed on the Westchase purchase last month and brought in Crown Golf Properties to manage all golf facilities.

Sano President Nick Neubauer and Crown Golf Properties President Dave Fairman stated that joining forces would benefit Westchase in many ways.
