Troon Chicago Martin McIntee

Chicago, Illinois, United States: To accommodate regional growth interests and opportunities, Troon has expanded and opened a new corporate office in Chicago.

In addition, Troon announced two key appointments that will help lead the Chicago office and regional operations, as Phillip Martin will head operations and Matt McIntee will lead business development.

Martin, a 25-plus-year golf and hospitality industry veteran has been promoted from Vice President of Operations to Senior Vice President and has relocated to the Chicago office from Troon’s Scottsdale headquarters. 

Martin will have operational oversight of all Troon brands serviced out of the Chicago office, while also taking on new projects and client services created from the immediate growth occurring in the Midwest.

Prior to being named Vice President of Operations in 2011, the 17-year veteran of Troon served as a general manager at various Troon-managed clubs throughout America. A graduate of Texas Christian University’s MBA programme, Martin holds the rare distinction of being a member of both the PGA of America and Club Management Association of America (CMAA).

McIntee, original founder of Green Golf Partners, has been appointed to the role of Senior Vice President of Business Development. In his new role, McIntee will be charged with regional growth and client relations.

As CEO of Green Golf Partners, he helped grow the firm from nine properties in three States, to 35 properties in 13 States. Prior to forming Green Golf Partners, McIntee was with Crown Golf from 1992 to 2011. His expertise in acquisitions, business development and operations has served many Fortune 500 companies and major developers.

Throughout his career, he has worked on committees and spoken at conferences for the National Golf Course Owners Association and the National Golf Foundation. He has often served as a market and industry expert for golf trade journals such as Golf Business and Golf Inc, as well as The Wall Street JournalCrain’s Chicago Business and the Indianapolis Business Journal.

In addition to his work at Troon, McIntee is currently the Finance Chairman on the Board of Directors for Children’s Hope International – an international adoption and children’s aid agency, and is personally dedicated to improving the health and welfare of children in need all over the world.

Troon’s new Chicago office is located on the city’s north side and is home to a full team of associates in all golf related hospitality departments. The office supports managed clubs throughout Troon’s full family of brands, including Troon Golf, Troon Privé, OB Sports, Indigo Golf Partners, CADDIEMASTER, True Club Solutions, Cliff Drysdale Tennis and RealFood Hospitality, Strategy and Design.

These recent moves come on the heels of the 2020 Chicago office appointment of Tim Presecky as Director of Business Development. Prior to joining Troon, Presecky was the Business Development Manager for KemperSports.

Presecky has deep Chicago-area ties, having been born and raised in Downers Grove, and an Evans Scholar at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

In addition to its headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona, Troon now has offices in Chicago; Irvine, California; Palm Beach Gardens, Florida; Jacksonville, Florida; Birmingham, Alabama; Seattle, Washington; New Braunfels, Texas; Cambridge, Massachusetts; Dubai, United Arab Emirates and Reston, Virginia, via the recent acquisition of Indigo Golf Partners.
