Our Team

Kurt Schuette Principal & Managing Director
After Captaining the Pepperdine Golf Team and earning WCC All-Conference Honors (1985) and graduating, Schuette started his Golf Career as a PGA Apprentice (1986-1988) in his hometown of Santa Barbara and moved on to North Ranch Country Club in Westlake Village, site of the 1988 NCAA Men's Golf Championship. He was then hired as the Pepperdine Men's Head Golf Coach (1988-1994), where he went on to win four Conference Championships and elevated Pepperdine to become a Top 20 Nationally Ranked Program. By integrating a competitive and fun atmosphere with families and the local golf community, he was able to establish a formula for success that has endured. Under Schuette's leadership, for the first time in school history, Pepperdine qualified for both the NCAA Regionals & Finals and produced their first All-America selection. Schuette developed many all conference players and laid the foundation for competing annually for NCAA Championships. From Pepperdine, Schuette was hired by USC as the Men's Golf Head Coach (1994-1995), where USC was able to qualify for the NCAA Finals for the first time in five years and finished in 5th place. After this early success, Schuette was then promoted to Director of Men's and Women's Golf (1995-2012) then to Director of Golf, Facilities, and Development (2012-2015). In 2001, he created the Coaches Council that was generating between $500,000-$1 Million annually. These funds were utilized to develop playing and practice facilities, both on and off campus, for both our Men's and Women's golf teams. On Campus facilities included: Short-Game practice facility, Golf offices, golf trophy area, locker rooms, two golf simulators, putting studio, club repair area, and player lounge. Off Campus facilities: Access to all Los Angeles Area leading private clubs, for playing and practice privileges on a weekly basis, in addition to select memberships that allowed weekend access for both teams. As the Director of Golf, Schuette won the bid to host the NCAA Men's Golf Division I Championship in 2012 at Riviera Country Club and paved the way for televised NCAA Golf Championships. During his tenure at USC, the Women's Golf Team won 3 NCAA Division I Championships ('03, '08, '13), five Individual NCAA Division I Titles, three Pac-12 Team Championships and assisted Andrea Gaston, Women's Head Coach, to produce 22 All-Americans. Under his leadership, the Men's Golf Team had six Top 10 finishes at the NCAA Men's Golf Division I Championships with 16 team qualifications to the NCAA Finals, an individual title in 2007, four Pac-12 Team Championships and 29 All-Americans. In his roles at both Pepperdine and USC, Schuette created travel plans, managed budgets, organized events, developed golf community relations which has assisted him into successfully orchestrating unique travel experiences. With 30+ years history as both a Division I competitor and coach, Schuette was able to experience some of the best courses, resorts and locations around the world. He was able to make lasting connections with members, staff, and locals while becoming familiar with the most sought after destinations and now wants to share those experiences. His passion for guiding teams to success has expanded into organizing a bespoke travel experience to create memories for a lifetime.
