KemperSports portfolio continues to expand with prime everyday fee real estate in Connecticut
KemperSports, a leading golf, sports and hospitality experience company, today announced that it has been selected to manage Lyman Orchards Golf Club, a 45-hole public facility in Middlefield, CT. With a proven track record of managing premier public golf facilities across the country, KemperSports will leverage its passion for golf and hospitality and guest-centric focus to enhance the overall golf and lifestyle experience at Lyman Orchards while improving course conditions and enhanced levels of customer service.
“KemperSports is the right partner to take the golf and hospitality experience at Lyman Orchards Golf Club to the next level,” said owner John Lyman III. “Their commitment to excellent customer service and their passion for golf will ensure the club has a bright future.”
Located just 22 miles south of Hartford, CT, Lyman Orchards offers a pair of 18-hole championship layouts designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr., and Gary Player – the courses are aptly named the Jones Course and Player Course – along with a 9-hole Apple Course designed by Mark Mungeam. Opened in 2012, the Apple Course was ranked as the No. 1 par-3 course in Connecticut.
Opened in 1969, the Jones Course at Lyman Orchards Golf Club is a masterpiece of classic golf course architecture with multiple risk/reward options throughout the course with strategic bunkering, subtle elevation changes and extensive green complexes that blend seamlessly with the natural environment.
The Player Course opened in 1995 and was designed by nine-time Major winner Gary Player. The course winds through apple orchards with large elevation changes and small greens.
“Lyman Orchards Golf Club is widely regarded as one of the best public golf facilities in Connecticut,” said Steve Skinner, CEO of KemperSports. “We look forward to working with the owners and our new Lyman Orchards team members to take the golf experience to the next level through improved course conditions and enhanced programming.”
Lyman Orchards also has a strong commitment to the development of the game and is widely recognized for its excellence in golf instruction and player development, having received numerous awards from the PGA and LPGA in recent years. Awards include the Youth Player Development Award from the Connecticut Section PGA, recognition among the Top 50 US Kids Coaches and Top 50 Operation 36 Instructors, and distinction as one of the Top 100 Growth of the Game Teaching Professionals. In addition, the facility has been home to recipients of the LPGA National Professional of the Year and LPGA Northeast Section Teacher of the Year awards. These achievements underscore Lyman Orchards’ long-standing commitment to growing the game and providing an exceptional learning experience for golfers of all ages and abilities.
In addition to golf, Lyman Orchards Golf Club also includes the 1741 Pub & Grill – a casual restaurant and bar serving burgers and drinks year-round, including Lyman Orchards’ own 1741 Connecticut Crisp hard cider.
KemperSports also operates Lake of Isles and Insports in the state of Connecticut.
