Scottsdale, Arizona, United States: Troon has been selected to partner with The Water Valley Company to provide consulting services for the RainDance National Golf Course and Pelican Lakes Resort and Golf properties.
Under the partnership, Troon will provide operations, marketing, branding and management support for the two semi-private facilities in Windsor, Colorado, while RainDance National and Pelican Lakes members will have access to the Troon Privé Privileges Programme and other premier lifestyle benefits.
Open since 2022, RainDance National was designed by Harrison Minchew in collaboration with PGA Tour Champions’ professional Fred Funk and provides an unprecedented experience along the Front Range of Colorado.
The course features 250 feet of elevation change, endless visual stimulation, and various sets of tee boxes while tipping-out at a lengthy 8,463 yards.
Pelican Lakes Resort and Golf will celebrate its 25th anniversary next month and features 27 holes of golf – the 18-hole Pelican Lakes Course and the nine-hole Pelican Falls Course.
Designed by Ted Robinson Sr, Pelican Lakes has water, native wildlife, and a challenging layout thanks to 300-plus surface acres of water.
The Cache la Poudre River snakes its way through the entire 7,264-yard, par-72 course and four man-made lakes surround the perimeter, combining to provide the most shoreline of any golf course in the United States.
The par-34 Pelican Falls course was designed by Mike Hines and has 200 feet of elevation change throughout. The course features Colorado’s largest man-made water feature and a one-of-a kind island green on the ninth hole.
“We’re honoured to be working with The Water Valley Company and their courses Pelican Lakes and RainDance National,” said Mike Conner, Vice President of Operations at Troon, an Executive Member of the Asian Golf Industry Federation.
“Our focus is to assist the teams with enhanced operational proficiency, dynamic marketing strategies, increased brand recognition, and advanced management methodologies,” added Conner.
Tyler Lind, The Water Valley Company’s President of Hospitality and Leisure, said: “Our collaboration with Troon is a reflection of our unwavering dedication to excellence and our desire to continually enhance the golfing experience for our members and guests.
“This partnership underscores our commitment to delivering premier services and cultivating a legacy of distinction in the golf community.”
