Semi-Private Club Remains Centerpiece of Community
NORTHBROOK, Ill., Feb. 25, 2015- KemperSports announced today that it has been selected to manage Mount Vintage Plantation in North Augusta, South Carolina. The Club, which serves as the centerpiece of an expansive Mount Vintage Plantation community, is located just a short drive from Augusta National – home of The Masters.
The Club includes 27 holes of golf including the Chester Nine, Vintage Nine and Independent Nine all designed by Tom Jackson. All three routings deliver a unique golf experience while implementing the best use of the native topography and elevation changes. The Chester and Vintage routings were built in 2000 while the Independent was added in 2008 – giving the club 27 of the finest golf holes in the region.
The golf course, which hosted the LPGA’s Asahi Ryokuken International Championship from 2001 to 2004, was ranked No. 1 in the Midlands Region in 2009, 2011 and 2013 by the South Carolina Golf Course Ratings Panel.
In addition to award-winning golf, the club includes a well-appointed clubhouse with multiple dining options and men’s and women’s locker rooms.
“KemperSports has the experience that we were looking for in a partner,” said Brad Hailey. “We are confident that this partnership with KemperSports will benefit the club and its’ members.”
KemperSports will be tasked with enhancing the member experience through implementation of staff training programs, enhanced member social programming and consistency and quality of service.
“We look forward to working with our team to improve member and guest service levels,” said KemperSports CEO Steve Skinner. “Working with the ownership group our goal will be to maintain superb course conditions and grow the Club’s programming.”
