In this special episode of Next on the Tee, I'm joined by Duane Horton, Charlie Rymer, Bill Bergin, and Rees Jones to discuss the creation of The Keep, the stunning new course co-designed by Bill and Rees. The Keep is the latest addition to the McLemore property, complementing the existing Highlands course. This project holds special significance for Duane Horton, who has a deep connection to the area, having grown up at the base of McLemore Cove. Duane's vision brought this land to life, and with the expertise of Bill Bergin and Rees Jones, they've crafted two of the finest courses in the country. Charlie Rymer, known for his time on the PGA Tour and as a host on The Golf Channel, has also played a key role in this endeavor. Charlie is also from the area and helped bring this masterpiece to life. As the Executive Vice President and Ambassador for the resort, Charlie has applied his playing experience and keen understanding of what golfers seek in a destination resort. Together, these four men have created a resort that is sure to become a top destination on golfers' bucket lists worldwide. The Keep is their latest masterpiece—a breathtaking course featuring cliff edge holes with panoramic vistas from every point on the property. Designed as a links-style course with multiple tee setups, The Keep offers a unique experience each time you play. In this episode, you'll hear from all four of these visionaries as they share their insights, stories, and enthusiasm for the project. They'll discuss how The Keep came together, the challenges they faced, the course's routing, and what makes this course truly stand out from any other you've ever played.

burch@compass.com@burchandburchteamWHAT THE FRIDAY! "9 is the Luckiest Number" with Bill Bergin(Weekly show streamed live on Facebook with William "Bill" Burch and Morgan Burch)1. Suburbs are still an intense sellers' market so we discuss the Port Imperial area, which has a lot of spacious condos that are more likely to appreciate in value than a single family home in the suburbs.2. The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 2.86% for the week ending Sept. 10, falling 13 basis points from the week prior, Freddie Mac FMCC, -0.48% reported Thursday. The previous record low was set in early August at 2.88%. In comparison, these loans had an average rate of 3.56% a year ago. On a $1 million mortgage, that means you can afford about 10% more home.....or the home costs 10% more because more people can afford it?3. There were more than 15,000 empty rental apartments in Manhattan in August, up from 5,600 in 20194. We brought Bill Bergin on to talk about 9 on the Hudson, which is the nicest and newest condo building in Port Imperial.#realtor #mortgage #realestate #homeowners #homebuyers #housingmarket #realtors #nyc See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
