Scottsdale, Ariz. – Troon,® the leader in upscale golf course management, development and marketing is pleased to announce it has been selected to manage Cimarron Hills Golf & Country Club, a private community located in Georgetown, Texas just outside of Austin.

Noted as the finest golf experience in the Texas Hill Country, Cimarron Hills features an award-winning Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course that ebbs and flows through stately oak trees, mountain laurels, and rolling terrain.

The natural beauty of Texas ranch land has been preserved on the property, which takes advantage of the south fork of the San Gabriel River along with artifacts left over from the site’s original ranch. Measuring a challenging 7,302 yards from the back tees and a manageable 5,059 yards from the forward tees, Cimarron Hills provides a flexible layout that is enjoyable for a range of skill levels.

“Cimarron Hills Golf & Country Club is truly an exceptional community that offers members a unique and desirable lifestyle,” stated Ryan Walls, senior vice president, Troon operations. “We are honored to work closely with the Desert Troon development team and we are confident that our management practices will contribute positively to the experience of the members and guests.”

A private club membership at Cimarron Hills gives members access to the magnificent 45,000-square-foot clubhouse and a full complement of award-winning community amenities. Several membership options exist for individuals and families to enjoy golf, swimming, fitness, tennis and a full-service spa. While Cimarron Hills is proximate to many of the area’s favorite dining options, the club’s Osage Trace Grille provides members with delicious dining accented with five-star service.

Now part of the Troon Privé portfolio, the private club operating division of Troon, Cimarron Hills joins a collection of distinguished private clubs around the globe. Full golf members of Cimarron Hills now have immediate access to more than 30 world-class private clubs though the Troon Privé Privilege program, as well as to preferred rates at more than 85 resort and daily-fee properties through the Troon Advantage program.

“This is an exciting period for Cimarron Hills as we prepare the final stages of re-launching the project with new residential opportunities,” stated Gary Elbogen, vice president and general counsel, Desert Troon Companies. “Adding Troon as part of the team was a critical component of our strategy. Under our leadership and direction, the Troon Privé team will continue to build upon the lifestyle offering that complements our goals – so we could not be any more excited about what the future holds.”
