Dutler’s appointment is one of many announcements that the Perry family has made since resuming oversight of the club last year, after a nearly 30 year-hiatus. “We are thrilled that Brad has joined the team to enhance the golf experience at Buffalo Creek,” said Kevin McCollum who represents the Perry family. “We are committed to the long-term success of this facility and we have partnered with KemperSports, a family-owned business with an exceptional reputation in the golf industry, to help us achieve our mission.

In addition to enhancing the player experience at Buffalo Creek, KemperSports also plans to launch a number of events to engage the entire neighborhood.
“I am excited to continue to elevate the service and guest offerings at the club for golfers of all ages and skill levels,” Dutler said. “Beyond our golf facilities, Buffalo Creek’s natural beauty and scenic views provide a great environment for events like trivia dinners, game nights on the lawn and other social gatherings to bring families and the community together for fun and entertainment.”
