Scottsdale, Ariz. (June 27, 2012) – Pronghorn Golf Club & Resort, a luxury golf destination and community located in Bend, Ore., has renewed its agreement with Troon,® the leader in upscale golf course management, development and marketing.
Pronghorn first hired Troon in 2010 to oversee club operations, including its two highly acclaimed, 18-hole golf courses. The luxurious golf and lifestyle destination features an amenity-filled community and Residence Club. Its pair of championship courses brings two master course designers together for the first time with the Tom Fazio Course and the Jack Nicklaus Signature Course. Both golf courses have received tremendous accolades – the Nicklaus Course was voted No. 23 on Golf Digest’s list of “America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses” for 2011 and the Fazio course is ranked No. 12 on Golfweek’s ranking of the “Best Residential Courses.”
“We are thrilled that Pronghorn has renewed its contract with Troon,” stated Jim McLaughlin, senior vice president, Troon Privé Operations. “Pronghorn is an exceptional golf destination that offers not only a premier private club experience, but attractive stay & play packages for the ultimate golf getaway as well. We are honored to be involved and we are confident that our professional practices will continue to positively impact the experience of Residence Club guests and club members.”
Pronghorn also recently announced that Auberge Resorts will assume management of the highly acclaimed development’s 48-suite lodge and other resort facilities, including multiple restaurants, full-service spa and more. Pronghorn joins a collection of acclaimed Auberge properties renowned for their spectacular settings, extraordinary restaurants and spas and highly personalized service. This announcement comes on the heels of The Resort Group’s acquisition of the property in February, ushering in a new era of growth and stability for Pronghorn Golf Club & Resort.
“Auberge and Troon represent the best in luxury hospitality and premier golf management,” stated Randy Koss, managing partner of Pronghorn Golf Club & Resort. “We are thrilled to bring these two brands together to deliver an unparalleled experience at Pronghorn that will have a very positive impact on current and future homeowners, members, resort guests and the local community.”
Central Oregon’s 300 days of sunshine and spectacular scenery make Pronghorn an ideal location for golf vacations. The comfort and hospitality of Pronghorn’s Residence Club are available through stay & play packages that offer welcoming access to the renowned Nicklaus course. The intrigue surrounding the Nicklaus Course invokes a sense of reverence for the game, tempting players with the challenges it affords. The aesthetics of the private Fazio Course inspire a sense of awe, seamlessly blending each hole into its natural surroundings. For more information visit www.pronghornclub.com or call 866.372.1003.
