A shared vision to simplify daily operations, improve staff efficiency, and deliver a seamless experience to members results in a major milestone in scaling enterprise-level adoption

Mill Valley, CAWhoosh, Inc., a leading provider of modern operations software for golf, racquet and hospitality facilities, has been selected by Landscapes Golf Management to power its private clubs.

Landscapes Golf Management’s Lost Rail Golf Club (Gretna, NE), Lake Barrington Shores Golf Club (Lake Barrington, IL), Hillcrest Country Club (Lincoln, NE), and Dakota Dunes Country Club (Dakota Dunes, SD) are live with Whoosh. Scheduled rollouts at more than 20 properties nationwide will enhance operational efficiencies, marketing campaigns and members’ experiences. 

The partnership builds on Whoosh’s integration with Lightspeed, the unified omnichannel platform relied upon by ambitious retail, golf and hospitality businesses in more than 100 countries. The result for Landscapes’ clubs is a fully connected ecosystem for tee times, point-of-sale, payments and other functions required for high-performance and profitability.

“Great software should be invisible to members and indispensable to staff,” said Colin Read, Whoosh CEO and Co-Founder. “Landscapes’ decision to use Whoosh across its platform affirms our vision for modern club operations and sets a new standard for how multi-course operators streamline and elevate the member experience.” 

Working with Landscapes Golf Management marks a significant milestone for Whoosh, serving as a model for other MCOs to standardize enterprise technology while preserving each club’s individuality.

“Our company prides itself in being pioneers of next-generation technology to manage mundane and repetitive tasks that frees our team to interact even more with club members,” said Scot Wellman, Vice President, Sales and Marketing of Landscapes Golf Management. “As such, Whoosh’s cloud-based solution clearly satisfies our ability to simplify booking, communications and reporting across multiple operations.”

“It’s amazing how intuitive the Whoosh system is to learn and administer,” said Tim Halpine, General Manager of Lost Rail Golf Club. “The insights it delivers mean tee time reservations, tournaments, pace of play, member communications and so much more run smoother than ever.”

(LINCOLN, Neb.) – Landscapes Unlimited has completed construction work at the exclusive Marietta Country Club in Kennesaw, Georgia, less than 30 miles northwest of downtown Atlanta.

Architect Bill Bergin masterfully re-imagined several holes.  The Atlanta-based designer is well known for his award-winning layouts at Chattanooga Golf & Country Club (Tenn.), Santa Rosa Golf & Beach Club (Fla.), McLemore Resort (Ga.) and many more private clubs and daily-fee facilities.

“We knew of Landscapes Unlimited’s exceptional work at other clubs in the region, and the company came highly recommended by Bill Bergin,” said Daniel Laterza, General Manager of Marietta Country Club.  “Its dedication and professionalism have been evident at every stage of the project.  Our Members are already thrilled with the transformation, and we look forward to showcasing the completed course when it reopens for play”

“On time and on budget, as usual, without one iota of compromise to quality,” said Brett Lacey, Senior Project Manager of Landscapes Unlimited.  “The collaboration between our field and corporate teams, Bill Bergin, Capillary Flow and others integral to lifting Marietta Country Club to even greater heights was extraordinary from day one.”

Landscapes Unlimited is no stranger to Georgia, finishing summer work at Champions Retreat, Frederica, Jekyll Island and Ocean Forest clubs.

(LINCOLN, Neb.) – Golf course developer and construction company Landscapes Unlimited has been selected to plan and construct a new golf course at Reserva Cardon by Cardon Adventure Resort in Sinaloa on Mexico’s gold coast, 45 miles north of Mazatlán.

Landscapes Unlimited’s Project Development Group will oversee aspects of design and engineering, permitting, contractor selection, project administration and budget planning, and will also build the 18-hole championship golf course aptly named El Ebano.

Construction starts the first quarter 2026 with a play on at least nine holes scheduled for 2027 and full course completion by the last quarter 2028.

Designed by Mike Nuzzo and constructed with utmost sustainability practices, El Ebano’s 6,900-yard, par-72, visually stunning layout will be uniquely routed through mountains with Pacific Ocean views from 12 holes.  Nuzzo is coming off award-winning work at Cabot Citrus Farms, commonly referred to as America’s best-new golf course, located north of Tampa, Florida.

The golf course will be part of a low-density residential master plan that offers an array of activities, including ocean and pool surfing, fishing, mountain biking, skateboarding, hiking and racquet sports.

Cardon Adventure Resort began operations in 2006 with the purpose of generating sustainable development through responsible tourism I the coast community of Celestina Gasca.

“Landscapes Unlimited is proven as the best in the business when it comes to soup-to-nuts planning and construction of golf courses on-time, on-budget and of the highest quality,” said Sergio Castro, Co-Founder of Cardon Adventure Resort and a second-generation real estate developer across North America.  “We didn’t even look at other companies for the role.”

“El Ebano will be built on one of Mexico’s most amazing sites,” said Marvin Cruz who directs Landscapes Unlimited operations in Mexico and the Caribbean. “The dichotomy of dramatic mountains converging with sounds of crashing waves provides golfers and resort guests with the best of both worlds.”

Landscapes Unlimited is on a roll in Mexico, overseeing several projects countrywide.  Cruz assumed his position in mid-2024 with a pedigree of field work and in-office strategy and planning alongside Tom Fazio, Robert Trent Jones, Jr., Greg Norman, Jack Nicklaus and other A-list course designers.  He is credited for exceptional work at Abaco Club, Aviara, Liberty National, Rancho La Quinta, Traditions and many other reputable properties in Mexico, the Caribbean, South America and the U.S.

(LINCOLN, Neb.) – Landscapes Unlimited contributed to 74 golf courses, country clubs and destination clubs named among Golf Digest’s “America’s 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses” and Golfweek’s “Best Courses You Can Play in Every State” rankings.

They include Erin Hills (Wisc.), Greenbrier Resort (W.Va.), Ritz-Carlton Las Colinas (Tex.), Spyglass Hill (Calif.), The Broadmoor (Colo.), Torrey Pines (Calif.) and TPC Scottsdale (Ariz.).

“Being selected and serving as the partner of choice for golf construction and renovation has been a thrill of our company for nearly 50 years,” said Jake Riekstins, Chief Development Officer of Landscapes Unlimited. “Our work reflected across ‘best of’ and ‘greatest’ lists is less about our accolades and more a testament to the talented teams assembled broadly to deliver exceptional golf.  We are grateful to the owners, architects and designers who continue to entrust us to help bring their visions to life.”

Golf Digest’s rankings are based on tens of thousands of evaluations submitted by its traveling course-ranking panelists and reflect the architectural merits (not affordability) of each course. 

Golfweek’s ranking criteria are routing, integrity of design (classic courses), quality of shaping (modern courses), overall land plan, greens and surroundings, variety and memorability (par 3s, 4s and 5s), tree and landscape management and “walk in the park” test.

Recently, Landscapes Unlimited placed 16 golf courses on Golf Club Atlas’ list of the greatest golf course “Custodians of the Game” worldwide.  The company was also named among the National Golf Foundation’s “Top 100 Businesses in Golf,” an honor it has held on to the biannual list each year since the inaugural edition in 2018.

Landscapes Unlimited has been the No. 1, go-to company to manage new builds and renovations for golf course owners and operators.  Its ability to attract and retain top talent leads to it being regularly called upon to responsibly support the requirement of modernizing, updating and upgrading.

The company’s Project Development Group is also on a roll, leading capital strategies, master planning, pre-construction, total project design-build and fully integrated program management solutions for golf course as well as state-of-the-art practice facilities, golf entertainment venues, lodging and other amenities.

Further instrumental in Landscapes Unlimited success is its proprietary M4 data management services that efficiently maps, measures, models and manages projects’ lifecycles through aerial and terrestrial survey and bespoke operating platforms.

(LINCOLN, Neb.) – Sixteen golf courses involving development, construction and irrigation work by Landscapes Unlimited are named among the greatest global “Custodians of the Game” by Golf Club Atlas.

They include Crystal Downs (Mich.), Erin Hills (Wisc.) Lost Rail (Neb.), Riviera (Calif.), Sand Hills (Neb.), Scottsdale National (Ariz.), Southern Pines (N.C.) and Trinity Forest (Tex.).  Sand Hills leads the pack at No. 5 with Riviera at No. 14 among the 153 ranked.

To put into context Landscapes Unlimited’s remarkable contributions to golf and society at large, there are roughly 39,000 golf courses worldwide.

Golf Club Atlas defines custodians as courses which, upon golfers walking off the 18th (or 9th) green, leave golfers feeling invigorated rather than exhausted with the allure of returning to the first tee being strong.

“It’s an honor to see so many of our partner courses recognized as true custodians of the game,” said Jake Riekstins, Chief Development Officer of Landscapes Unlimited.  “We are proud to stand behind work that respects tradition and playability, ultimately leaving golfers wanting more.  That spirit – thoughtful, enduring and purpose-built – is what guides everything we do at Landscapes Unlimited.”

Criteria for course honors on the custodian list includes those where:

  • Engaging puzzles to solve beats one which does not.
  • The ball is encouraged to run beats one where it is not.
  • You can carry your bag at any time beats one where you cannot.
  • You can play quickly while walking, beats one where you cannot.
  • You can enjoy at all ages beats one where you cannot.
  • Understated maintenance practices beat one with conspicuous green keeping.
  • The simple game of golf is emphasized beats one which pursues the trappings of status.
  • You want to play again and again beats one you only wish to play annually.

The dominance of Landscapes Unlimited partner courses on the custodian list follows the company recently named among the National Golf Foundation’s “Top 100 Businesses in Golf,” an honor it has held on the biannual list each year since the inaugural edition in 2018.

The NGF cites Landscapes Unlimited for its “project portfolio that includes more major championship venues and top 100 courses than any competitor in the industry, demonstrating its exceptional expertise and reputation for quality … (and for) beloved local layouts of various shapes, sizes and budgets.”

In its nearly 50-year history, Landscapes Unlimited has been the No. 1, go-to company to manage new builds and renovations for golf course owners and operators.  Its ability to attract and retain top talent leads to it being regularly called upon to responsibly support the requirement of modernizing, updating and upgrading.

]]>
(LINCOLN, Neb.) – Landscapes Golf Management has been selected to manage Heritage Hunt Golf & Country Club in Gainesville, Va. and Lake Barrington Shores Golf Club in Lake Barrington, Ill., both governed by homeowners associations.

Both engagements were won in a national search with the HOAs citing Landscapes Golf Management’s track record of improving the trajectory of golf clubs within communities.

At the private, active-adult Heritage Hunt, the HOA sought to revitalize and expand golf programs to better serve evolving community interests.  With shifts in demographics and recreational interests, new strategies for member recruitment and enhancing current members’ experiences are required.  To achieve this, Landscapes Golf Management will leverage data and behavioral analysis to profile prospective members and create exciting programming for a more vibrant atmosphere, benefiting golf members and all community residents.

At the boutique golf club, Lake Barrington Shores, its HOA recently purchased the golf course and quickly recognized Landscapes Golf Management’s success operating clubs in Illinois.  The company will build a strong operations and agronomic team, re-open food-and-beverage operations, re-define turf management practices, upgrade marketing and operations technology, re-face the club website and other branding and communications vehicles, and roll-out new membership programs and daily-fee options for residents.

 

“It’s gratifying HOAs recognize our team’s success transforming clubs into highly active, financially successful businesses,” said Tom Everett, President of Landscapes Golf Management.  “Building teams and developing strategic playbooks, combined with crisply executed plans, result in achieving the objectives our clients have for their properties – that’s what it’s all about.”

About Heritage Hunt Golf & Country Club

Heritage Hunt is 20 miles southwest of Dulles International Airport.  Designed by renowned golf-course architect Arthur Hills, Heritage Hunt earns praise for its 18-hole, 7,033-yard, par-72 championship layout. Set among 750 acres of idyllic rolling hills and natural landscape, the course features several dramatic elevation changes.  Golfers’ journeys wend through hardwoods, pines and numerous cascading streams, ponds and natural wetlands, including historic Little Bull Run. With four sets of tees, Heritage Hunt is challenging for golfers of all abilities.

The magnificent, Colonial-style clubhouse showcases a grand lobby, multiple seating areas and an open-columned arcade that leads to a central domed area.  A rich mahogany lounge with beamed ceilings leads to the 120-seat restaurant.  A beautiful ballroom provides a perfect venue for large events such as weddings and anniversaries with seating for up to 330 participants.  A grand staircase winds to a lower lounge and an expansive lawn area with large, covered decks with views of the putting green and Bull Run Mountains.

About Lake Barrington Shores Golf Club

Fifty minutes northwest of downtown Chicago, Lake Barrington Shores features an 18-hole, 6392-yard, par-71 layout that is equal bark and benevolence for golfers high and low handicappers.  Golfers feel one with nature amid tree-lined fairways and sloped terrain, and then they meet hole No. 17 that presents a dastardly approach shot over a menacing lake.  Larry Packard, known for his design of the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort near Tampa that hosts PGA TOUR events, is the architect Lake Barrington Shores’ layout.
