Cedar Point Club picks KemperSports

The Cedar Point Club board of directors selected KemperSports to manage Cedar Point Club in Suffolk, Virginia. KemperSports will leverage Cedar Point’s scenic riverfront location and host of first-class offerings and amenities to enhance member engagement and strengthen its reputation as Southeast Virginia’s premier private club.

“Cedar Point is a wonderful club set in a beautiful location,” KemperSports CEO Steve Skinner said. “We are excited to work with the Board of Directors to elevate the member experience and take the club to new heights.”

Established in 1964, Cedar Point is located at the confluence of the Nansemond and James rivers in Southeast Virginia. The jewel of the club is its 7,100-yard, 18-hole golf course that was renovated in 2004 by Virginia-based golf course architect Tom Clark. The par-72 layout features TifSport Bermuda tees and fairways, drought- and heat-resistant A1/A4 bentgrass greens, and newly constructed Capillary Concrete bunkers.

Host of four Virginia State Golf Association Men’s State Amateur Championships (in 1975, 1982, 2009, and  2022) and the future home of the 2023 VSGA Women’s Amateur, Cedar Point also offers members and guests a fun and unique nine-hole, par-3 experience that presents some of the most spectacular vistas in the Tidewater area.

“For nearly 60 years, Cedar Point has served as a relaxing retreat for our members and their families,” Cedar Point president and chairman Cameron Robinett said. “Following over $10 million in upgrades throughout our entire campus over the last four years, we sought to partner with a best-in-class operator to complement these facility enhancements. KemperSports’ passion for creating memorable experiences through unparalleled service makes them the right steward of our vision for the club’s future. We look forward to bringing their commitment to excellence and decades of expertise to our members and their families as we aim to take the member lifestyle to an exemplary level for years to come.”

Cedar Point’s 27 holes of golf are complemented by a newly renovated 18-station driving range, putting and chipping greens, and PGA Professional teaching staff that coordinates more than 30 annual member events a year, including Wine and Wedges play, Nine and Dine nights, and Par 3 tournaments.

 KemperSports recently tapped hospitality executive Greg Marquart as the club’s new general manager.
