Golf Digest, Golfweek and GOLF Magazine recognize KemperSports properties as must-play courses in recent rankings
NORTHBROOK, Illinois – KemperSports clients and properties are once again appearing on golf’s most respected “best of” rankings. 21 KemperSports-supported properties were named to the Golf Digest “Best Courses in Every State” list, with four on the Golf Digest America’s 100 Greatest Courses list. Additionally, 15 KemperSports clients appear on the 2021-22 Golfweek “Best Courses You Can Play” list, with many of those same courses ranked on GOLF Magazine’s “Top 100 You Can Play” list. 28 courses made it on Golfweek’s Best Public Courses You Can Play, State-By-State list.
“Rankings like these are a testament to our clients, their vision and the great work of our teams. We could not be prouder that the courses we manage continue to be recognized year in and year out,” said KemperSports CEO Steve Skinner. “Our staff works tirelessly to ensure that our guests have a memorable experience, and to see that hard work reflected in these rankings is proof of our commitment to customer service.”
KemperSports’ track record has led to steady growth in its resort portfolio over the last decade. Most recently, it assumed management of all hotel, restaurant, recreation and spa operations at central Florida’s Streamsong Resort – with Streamsong Red, Streamsong Blue and Streamsong Black courses appearing on all three rankings lists. The courses at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort can also be found at the top of each list.
