Abu Dhabi: Troon found itself in similar surroundings to its headquarters in the Arizona desert last week, as it took part in the HSBC Golf Business Forum in Abu Dhabi.

Its team of senior executives making the desert-to-desert journey, including company Founder and CEO, Dana Garmany, further acknowledged the growing international influence of its Middle East portfolio by also hosting Troon’s inaugural conference for EMEA and APAC key Executives and Managers at Abu Dhabi Golf Club, one of its championship properties in the region.
Troon’s surging global influence spans some of the world’s most unique terrains and climates across 28 countries. Since its inception at Troon North, Scottsdale, Arizona, the business has experienced a meteoric rise on an international scale.
Garmany said: “Abu Dhabi is without doubt one of the golf world’s burgeoning destinations. We hear regular reports from the team in the Middle East office on its continued growth and our consumer feedback for conditioning, hospitality and service are among the very best in our business.”
Named by both Golf Inc. and Golf Digest as one of the most influential people in golf, Garmany continued: “Our inaugural International Conference will give us a great chance to gather as a group of professionals and discuss topics at the heart of our businesses’ future and developments in the game of golf. The Golf Business Forum also presents an opportunity to share our insight on global trends and debate the good, the bad and the ugly.”
The Troon-managed Abu Dhabi Golf Club played a key role in hosting the Troon International Conference, as well as providing the backdrop for the HSBC Golf Business Forum.
“This is a landmark occasion for Troon and it is a privilege to host our fellow colleagues in Abu Dhabi,” said Mark Chapleski, Area Managing Director and Vice-President, Troon Golf Middle East. “We have such a widespread portfolio internationally, we had to expand on our conference itinerary to accommodate our global footprint and Abu Dhabi was a first-class host.”
