Scottsdale, Arizona, United States: Troon has been selected to manage Woodholme Country Club, a member-owned private club in Pikesville, Maryland, northwest of Baltimore. 

Troon Privé, the private club operating division of Troon, will manage club operations, agronomy, food and beverage, and membership sales and marketing.

Founded in 1927, Woodholme Country Club features a Herbert Strong-designed 18-hole course that was renovated by golf course architect Ed Ault in the mid-1960s and again in the mid-1970s.

The course plays to a unique par of 73 and ranges from 5,503 yards to 7,226 yards with holes meandering over natural terrain with minimal earth movement.

The course has hosted a number of high-profile events, including the Maryland State Amateur Championship, the Maryland Senior Open Championship, USGA Women’s Open qualifying, the USGA Mid-Amateur, as well as three USGA Amateur qualifiers.

“As Woodholme approached its 100th anniversary, the Board felt strongly that, like many other golf clubs, Woodholme could benefit from having an experienced management partner on its team,” said Woodholme Country Club Board President Arthur Adler.

“As Troon is by far the best-of-class in golf club management, the Board’s decision was an easy one. The future of Woodholme looks very bright with Troon guiding our next century of membership,” added Adler.

In addition to golf, Woodholme Country Club members also enjoy a 50,000 square-foot clubhouse that boasts classical elegance and modern conveniences with casual dining in The Grille and The Café.

Amenities include eight Har-Tru tennis courts, 12 new pickleball courts, and a resort-style pool with Olympic-style lanes. The Woodholme campus also includes satellite buildings for golf, tennis and quick-service dining.

“We are excited to partner with the incredible membership of Woodholme Country Club,” said Archie Cart, Vice President of Operations at Troon, an Executive Member of the Asian Golf Industry Federation.

“We look forward to further elevating the member experience at Woodholme and building upon a century of excellence,” added Cart.
