Butterfield Trail and Sand Creek Station win top spot in respective category;
eight other properties finish as top-5 overall
NORTHBROOK, Ill., May 9, 2017 – KemperSports announced today that ten of its properties were honored in the annual NGF (National Golf Foundation) Loyalty Awards with Sand Creek Station taking home top honors in the “less than $70” green fee category for the ninth consecutive year and Butterfield Trail winning the “more than $70” green fee category for the second time in three years.
The awards were given to facilities with the highest customer satisfaction index scores based on surveys fielded through NGF’s Golfer Survey Program in both categories based on the price of green fees.

Combined with TrueReview™, KemperSports properties are given a snapshot of guest feedback and satisfaction. TrueReview is a proprietary program implemented at KemperSports properties that tracks guest satisfaction and invites feedback from past visitors to KemperSports properties
