(Scottsdale, Ariz.) – Troon, the leader in upscale golf course management, development and marketing is delighted to announce its first contract in Germany at Golf Club Pfalz, Neustadt.

Located in the celebrated "Perle der Pfalz" wine region, between Neustadt and the Cathedral City of Speyer in Southwest Germany, Golf Club Pfalz stretches 6,638 yards through natural woodland and is surrounded by forests and meadows. The course was established in 1970.

Troon has been tasked with assisting the agronomy team in elevating the golf course conditioning to a level comparable to other Troon facilities around the world, thus enhancing the enjoyment for club members, as well as local and international guests.

“We’re delighted to be working with such a superb venue like Golf Club Pfalz which is committed to providing the best experience for its members,” said Bruce Glasco, chief operating officer, managing director, Troon International Division. “It’s an exciting time for the club and this initiative provides a fantastic opportunity to enhance the course for the strong membership base. We are looking for our initial work to lay the foundation for improvements that will carry the club forward for many years to come.”
