“Back in 1990, our founder, Dana Garmany, created a revolutionary concept. It was a business model focused on managing upscale public golf courses based on hospitality-caliber customer service principles and superior agronomic conditions. It was then the “Member for a Day” experience was born. Behind the vision of this extraordinary leader and many others who since have followed, Troon has grown into the worldwide leader in golf and golf-related hospitality. It has become a model that has not only created unforgettable experiences people all over the globe, but has resulted in remarkable career opportunities and growth for many who have seized an opportunity and reach milestones they might thought were never possible” – says Troon about its founder and history.
