About – Evergreen Lifestyles Management

About Us

Your Community, Your Home, Your Evergreen

In today’s society it is said that we have forsaken the village for the metropolis, turning our neighbors into strangers, and losing the word “community” from our lexicon. We see things differently...

History

When Evergreen Lifestyles Management was founded, we set out to create a different kind of Management Company. “Golf is more than just a game, it’s a lifestyle. There’s nothing like stepping onto a well-kept course to play a round with good friends on a beautiful day. That’s the feeling we want to promote in every community we manage.” The result has been tremendous growth and satisfaction to both our company and the communities.

“Today is a good day for golf... so is tomorrow.”

Our People

Our greatest assets are the men and women who make Evergreen what it is today

Within Evergreen communities, we strive to foster a culture where neighbors know one another, help each other out, and extend invitations to new comers. In order to achieve this, we first demonstrate these community values within our own company.

Evergreen Lifestyles Management Leadership

Our Investment

Through an extensive support system, everyone who works for, or with Evergreen is given the tools needed to achieve excellence. Advancements in education, training, and certifications are paramount to maintaining the highest skilled staff available. For that reason we support, and encourage our entire staff towards a path of self-improvement.

Internal Talent

The quality of any organization can be measured by the people who are a part of it.
