Troon has been chosen to manage Grande Oaks Golf Club in Davie, Florida. The company’s Troon Privé division will manage club operations, agronomy, food & beverage, retail, and membership sales and marketing.
Grande Oaks, a private club in the Fort Lauderdale area, was founded in 1959 as Rolling Hills Country Club and gained notoriety by being featured in the movie Caddyshack. The course was redesigned in 1999 by Raymond Floyd and renamed Grande Oaks Golf Club. Its footprint was reduced from the original property’s 360 acres to 190 acres but retained much of the original character, including a grove of old-growth oak trees giving the renovated course its name. The 18-hole par-71 course measures 6,752 yards and features Celebration Bermuda grass on the tees and fairways, and Tif Eagle grass on greens.
“Troon is very excited to partner with historic Grande Oaks Golf Club,” said Jim Geiger, director of operations at Troon. “Our entire Troon team is eager to work alongside the Grande Oaks management staff while we strive to elevate the private club experience for members and guests.”
Grande Oaks is owned by Nova Southeastern University and is the home course for the university’s NCAA Division II National Champion men’s and women’s golf teams.
