Scottsdale, Ariz. – The Sports Facilities Companies (SFC), the nation’s leading operating partner for sports, recreation, and event facilities, today announced a strategic partnership with Troon®, the leader in providing golf and club-related leisure and hospitality services.
As part of the agreement that takes effect immediately, Troon and SFC will collaborate on new business opportunities, leveraging their complementary strengths to deliver unparalleled services to existing and future clients.
