City of Newton
At Thursday’s City Commission meeting, KemperSports Regional Manager Chris Tuohey, who has served as Sand Creek Station’s general manager since its opening in 2006, announced that he will be leaving the golf course in mid-February.
“I cannot put into words how hard of a decision this was to make,” Tuohey said. “It’s just how special this community this is to me and how welcome you guys made me feel when we came up from New Orleans, Louisiana, after losing everything in the hurricane. … I will be forever indebted, and Newton will always hold a very, very special place in my heart.”
Tuohey will remain with KemperSports, managing two golf courses outside Louisville, Kentucky. He will continue to be involved in planning for the 2024 U.S. Adaptive Open that Sand Creek Station will host next July and plans to return to Newton for the event.
Tuohey said the move will allow him to advance within the company and the timing is right, with Sand Creek Station’s staff and programming in a solid position.
The Commission thanked Tuohey for building such an effective team at Sand Creek Station and all the success the course has had under his leadership.
The City-owned Sand Creek Station has been ranked among the best golf courses in the state by Golf Digest and has been No. 1 in the U.S. in overall customer loyalty for 15 years in a row.
