Scottsdale, Ariz. – Troon®, the leader in providing golf and club-related leisure and hospitality services, is pleased to announce it has purchased The Club at Cordillera, a private club in Edwards, Colorado near Vail. Troon Privé, the private club operating division of Troon, has managed the 54-hole mountain golf club since January 2013.
Troon purchased The Club at Cordillera from Wind Rose Holdings LLC. The sale, which closed on Tuesday, December 10, includes the property’s three 18-hole golf courses (Valley, Mountain and Summit), three clubhouses and other club amenities. The purchase price will not be announced.
“The Club at Cordillera is an amazing property with a wonderful membership, many of whom we’ve had the pleasure of serving for a dozen years,” said Troon President and CEO Tim Schantz. “We’re excited about the future of The Club, its long-term sustainability and for the opportunity to continue to provide an outstanding membership experience. Finally, thank you to Dr. Jeffrey L. Rush and the ownership group for allowing Troon to be stewards of this incredible community for many years to come.”
On the heels of a multi-million-dollar two-year renovation of the Valley Club completed in 2023 (including new pool, pool pavillion, clay tennis courts, pickleball courts, and fitness center), Troon will invest in a bunker renovation in 2025 on the Tom Fazio-designed Valley Course. In addition, the entire management team and all employees will continue in their current roles, including (but not limited to) general manager Michael Henritze, assistant general manager Jack LoBiondo, director of agronomy David Soltvedt, director of membership and operations Allyson Mason and executive chef Daniel Woodbridge.
“This is an exciting announcement for everyone involved with The Club at Cordillera, including members, employees and community partners,” said Henritze, who has served as The Club at Cordillera’s general manager since the beginning and as a Troon associate for over 20 years. “From the day Troon set foot on property, the company has brought stability and a pursuit of excellence to The Club. Now as sole owners, Troon’s unwavering commitment to quality and passion for service will seamlessly continue.”
The Club at Cordillera is one of the largest exclusive golf communities in North America, encompassing over 7,000 acres in the heart of Colorado’s Vail Valley, 120 miles west of Denver. Offering a combination of incomparable golf, dining, and a lively social calendar, The Club at Cordillera provides facilities of the highest quality. From the Vail Valley floor to Cordillera’s summit, Tom Fazio, Hale Irwin, and Jack Nicklaus crafted three extraordinary golf courses, each with an award-winning clubhouse. In addition to golf, The Club at Cordillera’s 850-plus members also enjoy swimming, tennis, pickleball, fitness, hiking, fly fishing, and Nordic skiing.
With the acquisition of The Club at Cordillera, Troon, the leading global third-party operator of golf and golf-related facilities, now owns and operates six properties and provides management and hospitality services at 900-plus locations in 45-plus states and 35-plus countries. Properties owned by Troon include Troon North Golf Club in Scottdale, Arizona; Eagle Mountain Golf Club in Fountain Hills, Arizona; NorthRiver Yacht Club in Tuscaloosa, Alabama; The Clubs at St. James in South Port, North Carolina; St. Johns Golf and Country Club in St. Augustine, Florida; and The Club at Cordillera.
