KemperSports has the inside track on a contract to manage the 18-hole municipal golf courses in Modesto, California.
The city and the Illinois-based management firm are reportedly negotiating a two-year deal to operate the Dryden and Creekside layouts, which the Modesto Bee says are “a financial drain on the city’s stressed general fund budget.” If an agreement is reached, KemperSports could assume control of the properties by the middle of this month.
KemperSports’ management fees will be paid by ValleyCrest Golf Course Maintenance, the firm that currently maintains the courses, which will see its contract extended until October 2015.
KemperSports manages more than a dozen municipal courses in California, and it counts the cities of Carlsbad, Palm Desert, Ventura and Yorba Linda among its clients.
