Building on the Impact of Tiger Woods, University Park to Name First Black Firm to Manage A Golf Club in Illinois
On Monday, officials from the village of University Park, located some 40 miles south of Chicago, will officially name the CHW Management Group of Columbus, Ohio to oversee its popular golf course, the University Park Golf Club. With that announcement, CHW Management becomes the first and only Black firm to manage a golf course in Illinois, and one of just a handful of Black firms to manage golf courses in the U.S. CHW Management is also headed by a woman, making Sonia Coffee, one of the few women-led management companies serving the estimated $84 billion golfing industry.
