CLEARWATER, Fla.—The Sports Facilities Companies (SFC), one of the nation’s leading operating partner for sports, recreation, and event facilities, announced a strategic partnership with Troon, a leader in providing golf club related leisure and hospitality services.
Troon and SFC will collaborate on new business opportunities, leveraging their complementary strengths to deliver services to existing and future clients. The partnership combines Troon’s global golf and club management expertise with SFC’s extensive experience in developing and managing sports, recreation, and entertainment facilities, positioning both companies to enhance their service offerings and expand their reach.
SFC has long been a major player in the sports and recreation industry, managing a large network of such facilities across the U.S. Their involvement in more than 3,000 communities and oversight of $15 billion in developed projects has made them a go-to partner for planning, funding, developing, and operating sports, recreation, entertainment, and fitness centers.
The strategic partnership with Troon will allow SFC to further elevate the experiences offered at their managed venues, which already host more than 25 million visits and generate $200 million in overnight hotel stays annually.
“We have a deep respect for the work SFC does in the sports and recreation space,” says Scott Van Newkirk, chief development officer at Troon. “This alliance will strengthen both companies by allowing us to collaborate more closely, refer businesses to one another, and jointly engage in projects where our combined expertise will provide exceptional value to our clients.”
Troon’s family of brands operates a wide range of amenities, including racquet sports, aquatics, fitness, food & beverage, lodging, homeowners’ associations, and more.
“We are continuously looking for ways to serve better, and by joining forces with Troon, we are poised to bring even greater opportunities to our clients, guests, and the communities we serve,” says Jason Clement, CEO of The Sports Facilities Companies.
