Congratulations to the winners of the 2026 Renovation of the Year awards!
These clubs invested in more than new greens, bunkers and infrastructure.
They invested in the future of the golfer experience while staying true to the history and character of their courses.

The Keep at @The_McLemore made its official grand opening in late 2025 atop Lookout Mountain.
Dancing along a cliff edge 1,000 feet above McLemore Cove, The Keep—a @bergingolf and Rees Jones design—is a headlands course where much of the holes are in view for the duration of a round and an eclectic mix of lengths and obstacles keeps players highly engaged and cycling through every club in the bag. Rocky outcroppings frame play and define strategy, while distant views over the Blue Ridge create both perspective and tranquillity. You simply don’t get a chance to play a course like this very often.
