About LA GOLF
LA GOLF’s pro player, anti-establishment DNA has made it the most provocative brand in golf by partnering with the world’s greatest players, using unique performance-enhancing materials, and taking a playful brand position. The governing bodies have made golf virtually unplayable for the average player due to the complex rules and equipment. LA GOLF is the only company with the technology and brand to make golf fun again for everyday players. In just a few years, LA GOLF has partnered with Bryson DeChambeau to develop the most innovative club face and shaft technology that cures the slice and the hook— something other companies have been promising for decades but have yet to deliver. LA GOLF was founded by Reed Dickens with a pro player, anti-establishment philosophy — the same playbook he used to make Marucci the most disruptive brand in baseball.

About Grass Clippings Rolling Hills
On March 2, 2023, the Tempe City Council approved Grass Clippings’ plan to overhaul and operate Rolling Hills Golf Course. Grass Clippings executed a long-term lease with the City of Tempe and took over the property on July 1st of last year, with Troon immediately assuming management of daily operations. Scottsdale-based WestHawk Capital partnered with Grass Clippings to lead a $15 million round of equity capitalization to finance the complete renovation of the facility, including the installation of lights and the full F&B and amenity package currently under development. The golf course reopened on Friday, November 3, 2023 following a four-month golf course renovation project and rye grass overseed, construction of a newly designed 9th hole, new tee boxes, installation of a new state-of-the-art irrigation system to improve turf quality, and a new 15,000 sq. ft. practice putting green. Grass Clippings Rolling Hills then opened to night golf play on Friday, December 1, 2023 and instantly became a favorite destination for golfers. More than 78 LED lights illuminate the golf course, which plays as a par 54, par-3 golf course at night and as an executive-length golf course (with par 3s and 4s) during the day. Golfers are able to track ball flight through the night sky on holes that range from 90 to 200-plus yards, while enjoying 360-degree views of downtown Tempe, Sky Harbor Airport, downtown Phoenix, the Phoenix Zoo and the nighttime silhouette of Papago Buttes.
The introduction of lights and night golf is just the beginning for the golf and entertainment venue, the flagship location for Grass Clippings’ cutting-edge vision. The team unveiled a refurbished golf shop in May 2024, renovated the clubhouse, added Glenrosa Restaurant and patio bar, and an activity lawn for live music, markets, and events.
