10 TROON PRIVÉ-MANAGED CLUBS NAMED “DISTINGUISHED CLUBS” BY BOARDROOM MAGAZINE

Scottsdale, Ariz. (January 21, 2020) – 10 Troon Privé-managed private clubs have been awarded the prestigious “Distinguished Club” distinction by BoardRoom magazine, the official publication of the Association of Private Club Directors. Troon Privé is the private club operating division of Troon^®, the world’s largest golf management company.

Each year, BoardRoom magazine recognizes a select number of “Distinguished Clubs” based on a proprietary criteria and evaluation process that distills and measures a club’s Member Experience. BoardRoom magazine’s entirely merit-based Distinguished Clubs award program uses a club-specific rating system that recognizes the club, its management, and its staff.

“It’s an honor to have 10 Troon Privé clubs named ‘Distinguished Clubs’ by BoardRoom as this designation is a reflection of the member experience,” said Rob DeMore, president, Troon Privé Division. “Congratulations to the clubs and our hard working Troon Privé associates for their passion and dedication to their jobs.”

The Distinguished Clubs award program is a stepped process that can be summarized as follows:

1. Committee Nomination:  In order for a club to participate in the Distinguished Clubs award program, it must first be officially nominated by the Distinguished Clubs Nomination Committee, a diverse group comprised of some of the most highly regarded leaders in the private club industry.
2. Site Visit:  An in-person site visit is conducted to evaluate and compile the many contributing facets of each “Quality Criteria” that collectively comprise a club’s overall Member Experience.
3. Formulaic Audit:   Based on the compiled site-visit data, Distinguished Clubs personnel applies the proprietary formula to distill and quantify the club’s unique Member Experience quotient.
4. Report:  A confidential Evaluation Report is issued to the club’s general manager.
5. Award & Recognition:  If the Distinguished Clubs’ formulaic audit verifies that the club is delivering Member Experience at the highest level, Distinguished Club status is awarded, along with individual department leadership recognition.
6. Yearly Verification:  Alternating year-to-year onsite survey visits and telephone-based interviews with club management are required to maintain Distinguished Club status.

“We’d like to congratulate all of the Troon Privé managed clubs on earning ‘Distinguished Club’ status,” said John Fornaro, Publisher of BoardRoom magazine, “Special recognition also goes out to each club’s board of directors, its department heads, and their staffs for their efforts in providing an excellent member experience.”
