Lake Havasu site for new upscale resort


There's more to Arizona's Lake Havasu City than the London Bridge. Jerry Aldridge wants motorcoach owners think of the city as their own resort. Aldridge, who founded RV rescue service Coach Net, is banking on his latest RV invention: The Refuge Luxury Motorcoach Resort.

Tucked in between Lake Havasu City's north end and a national wildlife refuge, the new resort sits proudly on the grounds of The Refuge Golf & Country Club. Yes, this is an 18-hole course with some of the greenest grass in the area. The resort intends to capitalize on the "country club" theme and bring in high-end motorcoach owners to populate the planned 107 site resort.

The golf course is in place, and added to it the pool, fitness center, pro shop, spa rooms, restaurant, lounge, piano bar, Et Cetera. You get the picture. The physical trappings are in place, the less physical will come when the resort opens this fall. Imagine high-brow resort goings-on: Wine tastings, golf tournaments and clinics, casino tours, dances. Add the more common RV park dos: Crafting, karaoke, game nights.

While a few months remain before the opening, Aldridge is counting on winter visitors to come and get the feel of his new venture. "Motorcoach owners who enjoy golf and the country club lifestyle are invited to come now to tour the facility, play a round of golf using our Member-for-a-Day package and preview the Club's amenities," says a company news release.
