Golfers enjoying a sunny day at a municipal golf course in Seattle as part of the city's renewed partnership with Troon.
Seattle has renewed its management agreement with Troon for its municipal golf facilities, extending the contract for 15 years while ensuring continued oversight of four golf courses. This partnership, which has been in place for over two decades, focuses on improving facilities and enhancing the golfing experience for a diverse range of players. The agreement also includes provisions for capital improvements to maintain the quality of the courses and support the local golfing community.
Seattle has announced the extension of its management agreement with Troon®, a global leader in golf course management, for its municipal golf facilities. The new 15-year contract will see Troon continue overseeing four of the city’s golf courses through the year 2040, with an option to renew for an additional five years beyond that period.
The renewed agreement ensures that Premier Golf Centers, a subsidiary of Troon based in Seattle, remains responsible for daily operations at the city’s golf facilities. Troon has been managing these courses for over two decades, establishing a longstanding partnership with the city of Seattle.
The four municipal golf courses managed by Troon include:
These facilities serve a diverse community of golf enthusiasts, offering a range of amenities suitable for both beginners and seasoned players.
The agreement not only reinforces Troon’s ongoing management responsibilities but also involves support for various capital improvements at the golf courses. Such investments aim to enhance course conditions, update facilities, and improve the overall golf experience for visitors.
Seattle’s Golf Operations Manager for Parks and Recreation highlighted the collaboration’s success spanning 21 years, emphasizing trust, teamwork, and shared passion as key factors. In addition, Troon’s Vice President of Operations expressed enthusiasm about the renewed partnership, reaffirming a commitment to providing affordable and accessible golf opportunities in the region.
This extension follows recent similar actions by Troon, including management renewals with the Chicago Park District and the Forest Preserves of Cook County. Troon’s leadership in municipal golf management is well established, making it the largest operator of municipal golf facilities in the United States.
Troon was founded in 1990 and manages more than 940 locations globally, including over 575 golf courses at diverse sites. The company offers a broad spectrum of golf-related services, from operations to hospitality, under several brands such as Troon Golf, Troon Privé, and Troon International.
Premier Golf Centers was established in 2001 by Bill Schickler and was acquired by Troon in September 2019. It operates as a key part of Troon’s portfolio, focusing on municipal and public golf facility management within the Seattle area.
The extension of the management agreement signifies a continued commitment to maintaining and improving Seattle’s municipal golf assets. It ensures sustainable management efforts, ongoing capital investments, and greater engagement with the local community for years to come.
