KemperSports Courses Honored Among Industry’s Best by National Golf Foundation

KemperSports sweeps top honors in both pricing categories for Loyalty/Net Promoter Score

Nine KemperSports-managed golf courses received 2025 GolfersVoice Awards from the National Golf Foundation and Players 1st based on achieving outstanding customer satisfaction and loyalty scores from their guests.

GolfersVoice is a customer experience platform used by golf facilities to collect survey feedback from golfers and evaluate the associated data against benchmarks of similarly priced properties. The 2025 awards celebrate public facilities with the highest customer-supplied scores on four key categories: Loyalty/Net Promoter Score, Course Conditions, Food & Beverage and Staff/Customer Service. Each award category is segmented by two different price points for equitable peer evaluations.

For Loyalty/Net Promoter Score, Sequoyah National Golf Club (Whittier, NC) earned the top spot in the premium public course category, while Sand Creek Station (Newton, KS) was recognized as the nation’s No. 1 standard and/or value course. Joining Sequoyah National in the premium course category was The Jewel Golf Club (4th; Lake City, MN) and Seneca Hickory Stick (5th; Lewiston, NY). Tunica National Golf & Tennis (2nd; Tunica Resorts, MS) and The Wilderness at Lake Jackson (3rd; Lake Jackson, TX) rounded out the top three in the standard/value course category.

Both Sand Creek Station (1st: Course Conditions, Standard/Value Courses) and The Jewel (Honorable Mention: Course Conditions, Premium Courses) were two of the 11 courses recognized in multiple categories, with Sand Creek Station being the only course to place first in two separate categories.

The remaining three KemperSports courses to earn 2025 GolfersVoice Awards includes Heron Glen Golf Course (Honorable Mention: Staff/Customer Service, Premium Courses), Desert Willow Golf Resort (5th: Course Conditions, Premium Courses) and Black Gold Golf Club (Honorable Mention: Food & Beverage, Premium Courses).
