Troon has been selected to manage two more golf clubs: Gold Hill Country Club in Seoul, South Korea, and Flagstaff Ranch Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona. Troon International will handle affairs at Gold Hill, managing development and pre-opening services, post-opening agronomy, marketing and operations services.
