Boutique management company Bobby Jones Links has added Hebron, Kentucky’s Traditions Golf Club, an 18-hole golf haven tucked in the rolling hills outside of Cincinnati, to its management portfolio, overseeing daily operations.
Traditions has been managed under the same private ownership group since it was acquired by local entrepreneurs David Brooks and Chris Penn in 1996. After an exhaustive search, the ownership selected BJL’s expert team to lead Traditions into a proud next chapter.
“We provided ownership assurances and peace of mind that we were aligned with their vision for the coming years and that the legacy of this club is in the right hands,” said Doug Hellman, chief development officer for Bobby Jones Links. “There was a very strong understanding of their goals and trust in BJL to develop a dynamic working plan to achieve those goals as we run the day-to-day business in the most efficient ways possible.”
The mission of Traditions has always been to respect the time-honored standards of the game while presenting golf as it should be to golfers in the metropolitan Cincinnati area. The club has also received numerous awards and hosted many of the state’s biggest amateur and professional championships over the past three decades, including Kentucky PGA Section championships, Greater Cincinnati Golf Association championships, the Kentucky Amateur, Kentucky Open and U.S. Amateur and U.S. Mid-Amateur qualifiers.
Bobby Jones Links is based in Atlanta with an office in Naples, Florida. The company supports more than 30 properties in 12 states.
