Tanglewood Golf Club in South Lyon, Michigan, recently picked KemperSports to manage the club. KemperSports aims for an enhanced golfer and guest experience through customer service, elevated food and beverage offerings, innovative player development programming, and social events.
“The state of Michigan and the Detroit area are known for great public golf and passionate golfers,” KemperSports CEO Steve Skinner said. “We share that passion and are excited to work with Tanglewood Golf Club to build on its strong history. The golf course has a great layout, and we look forward to elevating the customer experience and continuing to grow the game in the local community.”
Opened in 1991, Tanglewood Golf Club is a 27-hole course designed by Bill Newcomb. The course is comprised of three different nine-hole layouts — North, South, and West — set among beautiful natural surroundings and topography that offer a challenging but fun golf experience. Tanglewood’s trio of nines also make it a great host for amateur events and outings.
Throughout its history, the course has hosted numerous Golf Association of Michigan championships and competitions, as well as several Celebrity Pro-Ams. The West Course’s scenic sixth hole features a green shaped like the Lower Peninsula of Michigan that leads players to the seventh tee box, which is shaped like the Upper Peninsula and is connected with a replica of the Mackinac Bridge.
Tanglewood also features an all-grass driving range and a spacious chipping and putting area.
