Twenty-three golf courses managed or supported by KemperSports have been recognized among the best public golf courses in the United States in the latest nationwide rankings compiled from golfer reviews.
The annual rankings are based on hundreds of thousands of reviews submitted by recreational golfers who evaluate courses based on factors such as course conditions, layout, value, pace of play, staff friendliness, and off-course amenities.
The recognition highlights the breadth of the KemperSports portfolio, which includes municipal courses, daily-fee facilities, and resort destinations across the country. Several KemperSports-managed properties also placed highly within their respective state rankings.
Among the KemperSports courses highlighted were Desert Willow Golf Resort (CA), Heron Glen Golf Course (NJ), Sand Creek Station (KS), and Skyway Golf Course at Lincoln Park West (NJ), along with numerous municipal and daily-fee facilities across the country. The recognition reflects the diversity of KemperSports’ portfolio, which includes resort destinations, municipal golf facilities, and community-access courses that serve golfers of all skill levels.
According to the company, the courses appearing on the lists represent a wide variety of golf experiences—from destination resort venues to community-based public facilities that serve local players.
“These rankings reflect the dedication of our course teams and their commitment to delivering a high-quality experience for golfers,” the company noted in announcing the results.
KemperSports, headquartered in Northbrook, Illinois, is a golf and hospitality management company that oversees a large portfolio of golf courses, private clubs, resorts, and sports facilities across the United States.
The recognition continues a multi-year trend of KemperSports properties appearing in national and state golf course rankings, highlighting the company’s role in operating and managing a diverse collection of public-access golf facilities.
