Troon has purchased The Club at Cordillera, a private club in Edwards, Colorado, near Vail. Troon Privé, the company’s private club operating division, 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, designed by Jack Nicklaus, Hale Irwin, and Tom Fazio),
- three clubhouses and
- other club amenities (e.g., tennis and pickleball).
The purchase price will not be announced.In 2012, Wind Rose Holdings LLC purchased the property for $14.2 million. They beat out among the others Donald Trump.
Following a multi-million-dollar two-year renovation of the Valley Club completed in 2023 (including a new pool, pool pavilion, 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.
The Club at Cordillera is one of North America’s largest exclusive golf communities, encompassing over 7,000 acres in the heart of Colorado’s Vail Valley, 120 miles west of Denver.
In addition to golf, The Club at Cordillera’s 850-plus members enjoy swimming, tennis, pickleball, fitness, hiking, fly fishing, and Nordic skiing.
With the acquisition of The Club at Cordillera, Troon now owns and operates six properties and provides management and hospitality services at 900 locations in 45 states and 35 countries.
