KemperSports has been retained by B.C. Golf Limited, which is affiliated with the Perry family of Dallas, to provide management services for Buffalo Creek Golf Club in Rockwall, Texas. The Perry family recently assumed full oversight of the course and has selected KemperSports to assist with the reopening of the course, daily operations and events.
Buffalo Creek Golf Club will resume operations with a soft opening in early June with future summer events to follow to bring the local community together. The operations team has implemented new health and safety procedures to comply with state and local government safety guidelines for COVID-19. The club boasts a unique practice range, one of the biggest in the Dallas area, with some of the best views in Rockwall, Texas, and ample space to safely practice social distancing.
“We are very excited to collaborate with KemperSports,” said Kevin McCollum, who represents the Perry family. “Our goal is to make Buffalo Creek Golf Club a successful and integral part of the local community and reestablish the club as a must-play in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. We couldn’t have chosen a better partner in KemperSports to set us on the path to become the leading club in our area.”
Located just 30 minutes east of downtown Dallas, Buffalo Creek Golf Club features an array of rolling hills and majestic trees off the eastern shore of Lake Ray Hubbard. Measuring 7,018 yards from the back tees, the par-71 course was designed by Jay Morrish and former PGA TOUR player Tom Weiskopf and opened in summer 1992. Ranked among the top courses in the Dallas area, it features Champion Dwarf Bermuda greens and a pleasant variety of practice facilities to help players refine their driving skills and short game.
“Buffalo Creek has a rich history in the Dallas community,” KemperSports CEO Steve Skinner said. “We look forward to working with the Perry family to bring prominence and attention to such a high-quality property in the Dallas market. Our team will be focused on upgrading the customer experience, improving course conditions, enhancing local marketing efforts and developing relationships within the community to promote the golf experience at Buffalo Creek Golf Club.”
