North Shore Golf Course gets new owner

North Shore Golf Course, a celebrated public golf course in northeast Tacoma, announces its acquisition by the Puyallup Tribe and Marine View Ventures (MVV), the economic development arm of the Puyallup Tribe, one of the largest Indian Tribes in the Pacific Northwest. Michael Moore, CEO of Ryan Moore Golf (RMG), partnered with Chad Wright, CEO of MVV, to lead and complete the purchase, effective September 9, 2016. Columbia Hospitality will manage day-to-day operations on behalf of the Puyallup Tribe and MVV.

“The acquisition of North Shore was a long-term, strategic decision by the Puyallup Tribe,” said Wright. “It is the goal of MVV to work closely with RMG and Columbia Hospitality to elevate all areas of the North Shore guest experience. We are excited to bring new energy, along with capital improvements, new amenities and an overall revitalization to North Shore Golf Course.

This course has been serving golfers and their families for 54 years, and we’re thrilled to honor and expand upon the legacy created by the founders and previous ownership.” “The opportunity to reacquire a parcel of land of this magnitude on the Puyallup Reservation doesn’t present itself often, so we are thrilled to add the North Shore Golf Course to our real estate holdings,” said Puyallup Tribal Chairman Bill Sterud.

North Shore Golf Course was sold by North Shore Golf Associates (NSGA). NSGA developed North Shore Golf Course in 1961 and has been its sole operator. NSGA is largely comprised of the Bourne and Proctor families of Tacoma. Their motto, “It’s a Great Day at North Shore,” has been and continues to be recognized by thousands of Northwest golfers.
