NORTHBROOK, Il – Nine KemperSports-managed courses rate among the personal bests from leading golf architects that anyone can play, according to a new ranking by LINKS Magazine. The round-up evaluates courses designed by 20 leading architects dating from the game’s earliest days in the United States until now and ranks the architect’s top course designs.
“This impressive list of public and resort courses is a testament to our clients and their success,” said Josh Lesnik, president of KemperSports. “We take great pride in supporting our clients, and we are very proud to have partnered with many of these well-known architects from the early design through opening to create truly unique golf experiences and help our clients achieve their visions.”
KemperSports-managed course featured on the LINKS list include:
- Bandon Dunes, Bandon Dunes Golf Resort – Bandon, Oregon, designed by David McLay Kidd
- Bandon Trails, Bandon Dunes Golf Resort – Bandon, Oregon, designed by Bill Coore & Ben Crenshaw
