KemperSports acquires two southern Indiana courses

KemperSports acquired Covered Bridge Golf Club in Sellersburg, Ind., and Champions Pointe Golf Club in Henryville, Ind. Both 18-hole, par 72-layouts feature zoysiagrass fairways and bentgrass greens; in addition, holes 9 and 18 at Covered Bridge feature double greens.

Both courses are Fuzzy Zoeller — 1979 Masters champion — and Clyde Johnston designs.

“Covered Bridge and Champions Pointe are two of the most highly-regarded courses in the Louisville market and represent excellent additions to our growing portfolio,” said KemperSports CEO Steve Skinner. “Fuzzy created two very special venues, and we are honored to carry on his vision.”

KemperSports will implement its TrueService customer service training program and gather customer data through its proprietary customer survey system. The company also has immediate capital improvements planned for Champions Pointe, which include adding new on-course restrooms and asphalt cart paths.

Covered Bridge and Champions Pointe represent the company’s second and third acquisitions in the last 10 months. KemperSports’ first addition came in March.

“As a proud native and resident of Southern Indiana, it’s important to me that Covered Bridge and Champions Pointe continue to create memorable experiences on and off the course for years to come,” said Zoeller. “KemperSports is well positioned to build upon the legacy we’ve created and carry out my vision for these courses. The company represents some of the best golf experiences in the country and has more than 40 years of success in managing award-winning facilities.”
