Scottsdale, Arizona, United States: Troon has been selected to manage Raintree Country Club, a private facility located in North Carolina.
Troon Privé, the private club operating division of Troon, will manage golf and club operations, food and beverage, golf course agronomy, and membership marketing.
Raintree Country Club features 36 holes of golf, including the 6,600-yard North Course and the 7,000-yard South Course. Both courses were designed by architect Russell Breeden and opened for play in 1971.
The North Course, which winds through hills and tall trees, hosted the Symetra Classic for five years from 2012-2016. The South Course is beautifully landscaped with water coming into play on more than half the holes.
An elevated tee shot on the South’s par-four 10th hole features views of the Charlotte skyline in the fall and winter months.
