WILLIAMSBURG, Va., Nov. 17, 2009 – Lennar Homes, one of the nation’s largest home builders, today announced the selection of KemperSports to manage Colonial Heritage Golf Club in historic Williamsburg, Va. The high-end public golf course is the centerpiece of Colonial Heritage, Williamsburg’s only active adult golf community.
Built in 2006, the 18-hole Arthur Hills design offers golfers a 6,889-yard, par-72 layout with five sets of tees and immaculate playing conditions throughout the 175-acre course. The golf course, which is widely considered to be one of the top courses in Virginia, challenges all levels of play with strategically placed bunkers and undulating fairways all set in the classic beauty of the natural terrain. The club offers visitors and residents an inviting location for championship golf, fine dining and entertainment.
“Lennar is very excited that KemperSports will be managing the golf, restaurant, and banquet operations at our Colonial Heritage community,” said construction manager David Ramsey. “We feel that KemperSports is going to be a great fit for this organization and we are looking forward to a very promising relationship.”
In addition to the championship golf course, KemperSports will manage operations at the 25,000 square-foot clubhouse which boasts a 350-guest main ballroom, the Magnolia Dining Room restaurant and The Grill restaurant and bar.
“Colonial Heritage is one of the premier golf courses in the commonwealth,” said KemperSports CEO Steve Skinner. “We look forward to partnering with Lennar Homes and delivering a great golf experience to Virginia golfers.”
Colonial Heritage is the third property in Virginia to be managed by KemperSports, a Northbrook, Ill-based premier golf facility management company.
