One of the biggest multisport facility planners and managers is getting into #golf, seeing the game as a fit for its focus on sports, recreation, and wellness offerings. SFC has acquired Spirit Golf in building out its new golf division. forbes.com/sites/erikmatu… @ForbesSports

Special spot. Soon to get even better by leaning into its history. Was a treat to get a peek before it shuts down in April for a 6-month refresh and revamp.

More and more @Vesselgolf bags are showing up at golf courses, but you likely won't hear a lot of buzz. At least from the company itself. Vessel continues to build momentum in #golf by leaning into 'quiet luxury' ⛳ forbes.com/sites/erikmatu… @ForbesSports

A deep dive into @candyrootlodge, the retreat coming to the SC sandhills, and the only new public #golf course project in development in the state. The vision includes four 18-hole courses, a short course w lights, lodging, and more. forbes.com/sites/erikmatu… @ForbesSports

A short course is coming to @TobaccoRoadGolf later this year. And you can be sure it's a little different. forbes.com/sites/erikmatu… @ForbesSports #golf #par3

The newest #golf course @palmettobluff was nearly 20 years in the making. Anson Point from @coorecrenshaw has officially joined May River and Crossroads within the Lowcountry community. A first look👇🏼 forbes.com/sites/erikmatu… @ForbesSports

A 'unicorn' site and serendipitous timing led to @DavidMcLayKidd visiting bluffs above the Snake River in Washington... and the creation of the next great destination #golf property in the Pacific Northwest. #RiverRanch⛳ forbes.com/sites/erikmatu… @ForbesSports @KemperSports

Michael Keiser Jr. has detailed plans for new golf resort Old Shores on the Florida Panhandle that call for a five-course public destination spread across more than 4,000 acres of remarkably varied terrain. More: linksmagazine.com/new-florida-go… ✍️: @ematuszewski | 📸: @jeffkmarsh

Old Shores has started construction on its 1st course. And there’s MUCH more to come at the Florida panhandle resort. Including one future course that’s a rarity in the world of destination #golf, and another inspired by Augusta National. forbes.com/sites/erikmatu… #forbessports

As one of the most stunning #golf holes in all of Hawaii, the par-3 15th at Mauna Lani's South Course is an absolute scene-stealer. But @MaunaLaniGolf has the deepest lineup of golf (two championship 18s and a short course) on the Big Island. forbes.com/sites/erikmatu… ⛳🏝️

From the team that brought us Bandon Dunes & Sand Valley, Wild Spring Dunes (TX) is opening to the public for limited preview play this month. $70 for two loops on the 8 Tom Doak-designed holes that are open, plus lunch. forbes.com/sites/erikmatu… #golf #golftravel @ForbesSports

The newest must-see property in the world of destination golf – #RodeoDunes – is just 50 miles from Denver yet feels 50 years removed. forbes.com/sites/erikmatu… #golf #golfresort #golftravel

Has it really been 17 years? The Skins Game is coming back for the first time since 2008, with Panther National as the host venue and a Black Friday morning broadcast on @PrimeVideo. forbes.com/sites/erikmatu… #golf #theskinsgame

This was a fun one to experience -- very unique #golf property and a markedly different operational approach. @TroonGolf

Is @MikeTrout 's #golf oasis in his home state of New Jersey the Northeast version of MJ's Grove XXIII? Soft opening forthcoming around the end of the MLB season this fall. Here's a sneak peek at @TroutNational: forbes.com/sites/erikmatu… @ForbesSports

The Marcella Club in Utah has tabbed the architects for its second 18-hole course: @KingCollinsGolf The visionaries behind Landmand & Sweetens Cove are creating a routing on "otherworldly terrain" to complement Tiger's forthcoming course. forbes.com/sites/erikmatu… @ForbesSports

Sam Hahn was at first "vehemently opposed" to aligning @labgolfputters w private equity. Hear what changed and why the brand's loyal legions shouldn't worry about L.A.B. losing its identity. forbes.com/sites/erikmatu… @ForbesSports #golf

Cool approach w @ZinkandGolf's new 12-hole short course at Chechessee Creek Club. First 5 holes = all par 3s and draped over continuous turf; ideal for newer players. Next 7 = more strategic for advanced golfers, w forced carries, deep bunkers, etc. forbes.com/sites/erikmatu…

Tiger Woods’ @SunDayRed apparel line expands to select green grass #golf shops. forbes.com/sites/erikmatu… @ForbesSports #golfbiz

Hard to find a more scenic assortment of par 3 holes than at the Couer d’Alene Resort in Idaho. The “floating green” is the show-stopper, movable by underwater cables and accessible only by boat, but beauty abounds throughout this gem of a PNW #golf getaway. ⛳️
