Troon hosting 25th anniversary sweepstakes through April

By |  April 3, 2015 0 Comments

Troon is celebrating company’s 25-year anniversary by offering an “ultimate golf vacation sweepstakes” during the month of April.

Troon is offering a three-night stay for two at The Phoenician Resort in Scottsdale, Ariz. To enter into the sweepstakes, visit Troon25.com. The package includes: two rounds for both players at Troon North Golf Club; a round for two players at The Phoenician Golf Club; complimentary Callaway Club Fitting Experience for two people at Troon North GC and a $100 Callaway gift card; and dinner for two people at Relish Burger Bistro and Il Terrazzo at The Phoenician.

“This marks a very exciting time for Troon as we take a moment to reflect back on the success we’ve experienced the past 25 years and the exciting opportunities that lie ahead,” says Dana Garmany, Troon’s chairman and chief executive officer. “Without having the best in the industry on our team doing incredible work throughout the world, we never would have grown to where we are today.”

International Accomplishments

Since it began in 1990 with the management of Troon North GC, the company has grown to manage more than 250 courses in 36 states and 27 countries. It has international offices in Hong Kong, South Korea, Australia, Dubai and Switzerland. Troon’s current capital and strategic partner is Kohlberg & Company.

Troon made its first international expansion into Australia in 1998, along with its involvement with Turnberry Resort in Scotland the same year. Troon’s international growth continued from that point expanding from 10 domestic facilities to more than 100 by 2007, reaching into parts of Europe, the Middle East and Asia. After the recent transaction with Kohlberg & Company, new capital has been infused into Troon, positioning the company for accelerated growth in the golf and hospitality industry. In late 2014, Troon acquired Honours Golf, a golf management company in the Southeastern United States. The acquisition added 16 golf courses to the Troon portfolio, located across Alabama, Florida, Mississippi and North Carolina.

Troon Golf & Travel Magazine

A special anniversary issue of Troon Golf & Travel magazine has also been published and distributed across Troon-managed facilities and select newsstands. Throughout the commemorative issue are stories that take a look back at the company’s early days through the eyes of Chairman and CEO Dana Garmany and the employees who have been with the company since the beginning. Tom Weiskopf, who co-designed the first course at Troon North GC — with Jay Morrish — recounts some of his earliest memories of those days.

A third feature examines Troon’s business timeline.
