Troon acquires OB Sports Golf Management

Troon has acquired OB Sports Golf Management, a golf course management company with more than 70 golf courses and private clubs throughout the United States and internationally.

“We are delighted to have OB Sports Golf Management as part of Troon, continuing our growth and reach in the industry,” said Dana Garmany, executive chairman of Troon. “With the addition of OB Sports [Golf Management], Troon now reaches or provides managed services to over 460 18-hole equivalents at 440-plus locations around the world.”

OB Sports Golf Management will continue to operate under the OB Sports brand and have the same business relationship with existing clients. The corporate office in Scottsdale, Ariz., will continue to serve as OB Sports Golf Management’s headquarters with the current executive team continuing to support their courses and clients.

The acquisition of OB Sports Golf Management follows Troon’s acquisition of Boston-based RealFood Consulting in February, and the July 2018 purchase of Cliff Drysdale Management.

“OB Sports [Golf Management] is an exceptional addition to our Troon family of brands, said Tim Schantz, chief executive officer of Troon. “Orrin [Vincent II], Phil [Green], C.A. [Roberts, III] and the associates of OB Sports [Golf Management] have built an outstanding collection of properties, clients and service offerings. Our alliance with OB Sports [Golf Management] will support their continued growth, bring additional support and resources to bear and will combine expertise and capabilities for current and prospective clients.”

“We are truly excited about the new collaboration and for the opportunity to advance and grow with Troon,” said Phil Green, chief operating officer of OB Sports Golf Management. “Our companies have always shared similar values with a focus on providing the highest level of service to our clients, guests and members. Troon’s resources, combined with the company’s worldwide marketing reach, will help our existing clients, while also providing a wonderful opportunity for our OB Sports [Golf Management] associates to grow and prosper.”
