Big growth: The 30 largest golf management companies

Golf’s largest management companies are growing — and getting more strategic about how they do it.

Troon, Arcis Golf, KemperSports, Landscapes Golf Management and others have expanded their portfolios in the past year through acquisitions, partnerships and new contracts. Many are offering tiered management models to serve a wider range of owners, from private equity groups to municipalities and HOAs.

KemperSports added a major new division by partnering with Touchstone Golf and expanded its national presence with new courses in Missouri and New Jersey.

Landscapes Golf Management took on four new properties in 2025 and is working closely with HOAs and private owners to rebuild operations and improve course conditions.

Heritage Golf Group and Concert Golf Partners have stayed active on the acquisition front. Heritage added clubs in Tennessee, Colorado, North Carolina and Florida, while Concert expanded its private club portfolio with five new properties and invested in multi-million-dollar improvements at existing ones.

Whether it’s acquisitions, partnerships or technology, the leading operators are taking a full-circle approach to growth.
