Casey Brozek, PGA Director of Golf at Medinah Country Club, joined the Club + Resort Talks podcast to discuss the renovation of Medinah's #3 course, completed in July 2024. The project, led by OCM Design, included significant changes like repositioning holes 17 and 18, adding 50 acres of fescue grass, and removing trees to improve turf conditions. The course now offers more playable options for members and hosts the 2026 President's Cup. Challenges included educating members about the changes and maintaining the course's natural features. The renovation also included 40 miles of drainage and Better Billy Bunkers, enhancing playability and maintenance efficiency. Rob Thomas, Editor-in-Chief of Club + Resort Business, also covered current news from across the industry, including Forest Dunes announcing a new private golf club. The award-winning golf facility in Roscommon, Mich., is poised to add a fourth course—SkyFall, a new private club designed by Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner that will also allow limited resort guest play. Henderson Park has completed the acquisition of PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., from a Brookfield Asset Management private real estate fund. The 807-acre property was purchased in a joint venture partnership with Salamander and South Street Partners. Lastly, Taylor Morrison's new resort lifestyle community, Esplanade at St. Marys on the Georgia coast, will include an 18-hole championship golf course from C.W. Golf Architecture, a wellness center featuring a full-service salon and spa, a resort pool and spa, a state-of-the-art fitness center, tennis/pickleball/bocce sports courts, a culinary center featuring multiple food and beverage outlets, and more.

Wisconsin.Golf's Rob Hernandez discusses the 2025 WPGA Junior golf schedule with Andy Landenberger, the Wisconsin PGA's director of junior golf.

Shawn Cox, PGA Director of Golf at Sharon Heights Golf & Country Club joined Rob Thomas on the Club + Resort Talks podcast to discuss the recent golf course renovation, as well as an upcoming addition to the club. The club reopened with a refreshed and enhanced golf experience after a $23 million renovation by Todd Eckenrode and Origins Golf Design. Approved by the club in 2019, this comprehensive redesign spanned all 18 holes and was crafted to create a more engaging layout, elevate aesthetics, and support the club's sustainability goals. The club also secured the green light for a 15,000-sq.-ft., state-of-the-art facility which will serve as a maintenance and operations center. It is seen as a landmark in sustainable renovation and environmental stewardship. Also in the news … After more than a century of serving its members and the Wheeling, W.Va., community, the Wheeling Country Club has announced plans to close on Dec. 31. The decision comes after years of significant challenges, as shared in a letter sent to members. The club has pledged to continue providing exceptional service and experiences for all guests and events until its final day of operation. Meanwhile, discussions are underway to explore future uses for the property. Collaborations with Oglebay and other local stakeholders are being considered as part of this process. Heritage Golf Group, an owner and operator of private country clubs and high-end daily-fee courses across the U.S., acquired its 39th club, Ptarmigan Country Club in Fort Collins, Colo. The Flack family, who owned the club for more than 20 years, selected Heritage as the purchaser. This acquisition marks Heritage's fourth property in the Greater Denver area, further strengthening its presence in Colorado. The other three properties in the area are award-winning daily fee courses: The Golf Club at Bear Dance, Plum Creek Golf Club, and Colorado National Golf Club. Coeur d'Alene Casino Resort Hotel has unveiled a state-of-the-art indoor golf and entertainment venue, Circling Raven Golf Suites, where golfers and non-golfers can immerse themselves in interactive fun, choosing from a variety of games. With access to more than 80 iconic courses like The Old Course at St. Andrews and Pebble Beach, the simulators bring every slope, tree, and green to life with breathtaking detail. Between games, guests can relax in style with plush lounge seating, HDTVs, and music, while savoring food and drinks delivered from select casino eateries.

Wes Forester, PGA Director of Golf at Reynolds Lake Oconee joined Rob Thomas on the Club + Resort Talks podcast to discuss Richland—the seventh golf course at the Greensboro, Ga. property. The new 18-hole layout was created by acclaimed course architect Tom Fazio by combining nine holes from his existing National course with nine all-new holes. This gives Reynolds Lake Oconee two Fazio designs (Richland and The National) along with courses from Jack Nicklaus (Great Waters), Rees Jones (The Oconee), Jim Engh (Creek Club), and two by Bob Cupp (The Preserve and The Landing). The new Richland turns the Bluff nine from the original, Fazio-designed National—with some recent modifications—into holes 1 through 5 and 15 through 18. The new holes, 6 through 14, traverse the peninsula of Reynolds and tumbles down to the Richland side of Lake Oconee. The resulting layout provides plenty of challenge with fescue-lined fairways, numerous bunkers, and dramatic elevation changes. Among the changes to the nine Bluff holes were removing or repositioning bunkers, adding new ones, and combining smaller bunkers to create larger ones. Some greens have been reshaped and/or moved, often bringing the lake more into play. New fescue native areas and low-mow chipping areas were also added on some holes. The new nine utilizes significant elevation change to put an emphasis on club selection and angle of attack. Players will encounter doglegs, a deep valley and big ravine, plus sloping greens and strategically placed bunkering. They'll also have the chance to refresh themselves at a new halfway house – The Turn – between holes 9 and 10. The Turn is a mobile food truck that will serve burgers, sandwiches, wraps and a full array of beverages. Also on this podcast … In the world of golf clubs, resorts, and hospitality venues, delivering unforgettable player experiences is paramount, and effective team communication plays a central role in achieving this. Elle Ferebee, Senior Account Executive at Relay, highlights how the right communication tools not only streamline team interactions but also help transform member experiences into something truly memorable. The Glen Ridge (N.J.) Country Club's planned expansion includes constructing a children's pool and removing 56 trees, raising concerns among neighboring residents. The proposed pool placement—just 13 feet from the property line—requires a variance, as local law typically mandates a 100-foot setback. The Zoning Board of Adjustment was scheduled to review these variance requests Nov. 14. Findings have yet to be announced. One local resident expressed concerns about the impact of the expansion on noise levels in the area. Two years into a significant restoration effort, Asheville, N.C.'s historic Municipal Golf Course, known affectionately as “Muni,” is facing severe setbacks after Tropical Storm Helene. The city was close to completing multimillion-dollar improvements across the course's 18 holes, including upgrades to fairways, bunkers, cart paths, and greens, along with extensive stormwater system repairs. However, after Helene swept through on Sept. 27, the Swannanoa River, which runs beside the course, overflowed to more than 26 feet, submerging the surrounding areas. The resulting floodwaters inundated Muni's front nine holes, with water and debris gushing from drainage inlets, undermining the turf and reversing much of the recent improvement work.

The game of golf attracts people from all different backgrounds.  How you were introduced to the game is almost as special as how you play the game.  Cary Cozby was introduced to the game by his father-- one of the more special bonds that can exist between a father and son.   Golf is a game and the game itself requires dedication and work if you want to succeed at the top.  More importantly golf parallels life and if you want to succeed at the top of life it takes work and dedication.  The lessons learned on the golf course transcend the game.  Cary has lived a life of positive and inspiring leadership channeled through this great game.  Seeing the best, the champions that play and the sacrifices they must make to win, shapes the way you lead  your life.  Golf also shapes people to be better people and that takes the same hard work, dedication, sacrifice-- and that leaves the world a better place.  I am grateful for the lessons learned and on display in our conversation with a dynamic, thoughtful and kind leader, Mr. Cary Cozby.
