The City of La Crosse,Wis., announced the selection of KemperSports to manage Forest Hills Golf Club. Built in 1901, the 18-hole championship golf course was the original home of the La Crosse Country Club. The scenic par-71, 6,076-yard layout is one of the oldest courses in Wisconsin.
“KemperSports brings more than 30 years experience in managing municipal golf courses and has specifically tailored its operating plan to Forest Hills and the City of La Crosse,” said Steven C. Carlyon, director of parks and recreation. “We chose KemperSports because of the company’s proven track record of improving course conditions, enhancing clubhouse facilities and golf programs, providing legendary customer service, sound financial management and the ability to develop a long-term strategic plan.”
In addition to the golf course, the property’s amenities include a grass driving range and practice putting green. The facility also offers two dining options, including The Bunker Bar and Grill and The Forest Hills Restaurant.
“Forest Hills is a unique property with a great deal of history,” says KemperSports CEO Steve Skinner. “We look forward to working with the City of La Crosse to enhance the experience for the enjoyment of the local residents.”
