Troon
recently expanded and opened a new corporate office in Chicago, citing regional
growth interests and opportunities. The company also announced two key
appointments that will help lead the Chicago office and regional operations: Phillip
Martin will head operations and Matt McIntee will lead business development.

A 25-plus-year golf and hospitality industry
veteran, Martin worked most recently as vice president of operations and will now
be senior vice president. He relocated to the Chicago office from Troon’s
Scottsdale, Arizona 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 Troon veteran served as a general manager at
various Troon-managed clubs throughout the country. A graduate of Texas
Christian University’s MBA program, Martin is a member of both the PGA of
America and Club Managers Association of America (CMAA).

McIntee, the 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.

Throughout his career, McIntee has worked on
committees and spoken at conferences for the National Golf Course Owners
Association and the National Golf Foundation. He has also served as a market
and industry expert for golf trade journals, business publications, newspapers
and radio programming. 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 dedicated
to improving the health and welfare of children in need all over the world.

Troon’s new Chicago office is located at 4611
North Ravenswood, 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 follow 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.

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