Geneva, Switzerland: Troon has expanded its offering for amateur golfers with a series of world-class events at three of its exclusive properties across its international portfolio.
Presented by the industry-specialists, The Troon Cup series includes all-encompassing packages to enable teams of four to sample its exemplary golf courses, award-winning service, and hospitality.
Forming part of the 2014 Troon Cup series are events at Open Championship venue Turnberry Resort (Scotland) and European Tour School host venue Las Colinas Golf & Country Club (Spain), with 2014 marking the introduction of European Tour venue La Reserva de Sotogrande Golf Club on the rota for the first time.
In the club’s first full year of operation under Troon Golf, the inaugural event for the Spanish property, reaffirms its position as a leading golf facility, with Troon taking its golf experience to a new level.
The 18-hole facility, designed by Cabell B. Robinson, is situated on the exclusive Sotogrande estate on the Andalucian coast, consistently ranked amongst Continental Europe’s most sought-after golf courses.
Having recently played host to the European Tour’s NH Collection Open, the property now looks forward to welcoming golfers for the 2014 Sotogrande Cup, presented by Troon. The event, which runs from July 6-9 includes rounds over the generous fairways and variety of tee options of La Reserva, in addition to a round at the 1997 Ryder Cup host venue Valderrama Golf Club.
Combining a challenge for golfers of all abilities, the Sotogrande Cup is rounded off with great dining, a drinks reception and full prize presentation along with three nights’ accommodation at the partnering NH Almenara Hotel.
Bruce Glasco, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, Troon International Operations, said: “The expansion of the Troon Cup programme is testament to the combined effort of so many, from club directors to our individual associates, who continue to deliver world-class events.
“Many of the participants are from other Troon facilities and they take away fine memories and a desire to host their own installments, with their own individual twists. We are pleased to add La Reserva; it brings with it a fantastic golf offering following the club’s resurgence, headed. The addition of the Sotogrande Cup emphasises the ownership group’s continued commitment to elevate the property’s already impressive member and visitor experience.”
