Woodholme CC picks Troon

Troon has been selected to manage Woodholme Country Club, a member-owned private club in Pikesville, Maryland, northwest of Baltimore. Troon Privé, the private club operating division of Troon, will manage club operations, agronomy, food & beverage, and membership sales and marketing.

Founded in 1927, Woodholme Country Club features a Herbert Strong-designed 18-hole golf course that was renovated by golf course architect Ed Ault in the mid-1960s and again in the mid-’70s. The course plays to a unique par of 73 and ranges from 5,503 to 7,226 yards with holes meandering over natural terrain with minimal earth movement. The course has hosted a number of high-profile events, including the Maryland State Amateur Championship, the Maryland Senior Open Championship, USGA Women’s Open qualifying, the USGA Mid-Amateur, and well as three USGA Amateur qualifiers.

“As Woodholme approached its 100th anniversary, the board felt strongly that, like many other golf clubs, Woodholme could benefit from having an experienced management partner on its team,” Woodholme board president Arthur Adler said. “As Troon is by far the best of class in golf club management, the board’s decision was an easy one. The future of Woodholme looks very bright with Troon guiding our next century of membership.”

“We are excited to partner with the incredible membership of Woodholme Country Club,” Troon operations VP Archie Cart, PGA, said. “We look forward to further elevating the member experience at Woodholme and building upon a century of excellence.”
