Mansfield, Ohio, United States: Troon has been selected to manage Westbrook Country Club, located half-way between Columbus and Cleveland. Troon Privé, the private club division of Troon, will oversee club operations, agronomy, food and beverage, retail, lodging and membership sales and marketing.

Originally founded in 1902, Westbrook Country Club features an 18-hole Donald Ross-designed course. The historic, 6,935-yard layout is recognised as one of the top private courses in Ohio by Golfweek and has hosted two Ohio Amateur Championships, PGA Junior Series events, and an NCAA Division III Final.

The club’s expansive clubhouse includes a new 34,000 square-foot addition, a 10,000 square-foot banquet and events centre, three unique dining spaces and a state-of-the-art fitness centre.

In 2022, Westbrook unveiled a new resort-style swimming pool facility, complete with a zero-entry kiddie pool, dashing water features, and a spring diving board. Members enjoy a full aquatics programme and individual swim lessons taught by certified lifeguards. A newly unveiled 19th hole has two Trackman indoor simulator bays for year-round play and a poker room.

“As we began planning the club’s future, we explored several options for managing our club. In the end, we agreed that Troon was the best fit for us,” said Westbrook Country Club Owners Dan and Brenda Niss. “We are excited to be partnering with the best golf management company in the world, and appreciate their enthusiasm for our members, our club and its rich history.”

In addition to award-winning golf and outstanding member amenities, Westbrook Country Club also offers eight beautifully appointed guest suites, available exclusively to members, guests of members, guests of ownership and authorised golf guests. Suites include king beds, kitchenettes and living rooms, and come with access to club dining, the resort-style pool, fitness centre and limited golf privileges.

“Westbrook Country Club represents everything that makes private clubs special – a storied Donald Ross design, meaningful recent capital investments, and a deeply engaged membership,” said Troon Senior Vice President of Operations Joe Langford. “Our role is to honour that legacy while enhancing the member experience and supporting the team with Troon’s operational depth and resources.”
