Persimmon Country Club, a private club located in the shadows of Mount Hood, Mount St. Helens and Mount Adams just east of Portland in Gresham, Ore., has announced that it will be managed by Troon Privé, the private club operating division of Troon.
Persimmon ‘s 18-hole, par 71 golf course opened for play in 1992 and was designed by Gene “Bunny” Mason, who is credited for designing numerous courses in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest throughout the 1970s, 80s and 90s. The course is situated in a protective mountain bowl, surrounded by tall pine trees with numerous wetlands, lakes and creeks throughout the beautiful property.
In addition to its well-regarded golf course, Persimmon CC also has a host of club amenities, including tennis courts, a Junior Olympic-size swimming pool, a fitness facility and a full-size practice range with a nearby short-game area and putting green. The club’s well-appointed clubhouse serves as the centerpiece for member dining and socializing. Floor-to-ceiling windows capture views of the golf course and surrounding mountains, while a variety of meeting rooms and banquet facilities are available for business dinners, wedding receptions and fundraising galas.
“Permission Country Club is excited to leverage Troon’s extensive resources to further the success of the club and enhance the member experience,” said Mark Swift, Persimmon’s General Manager.
Added Bill O’Brien, Vice President of Troon Privé: “Persimmon is blessed with a beautiful location, a great golf course and wonderful amenities. The Troon Privé team looks forward to working with this outstanding club.”
The Troon Privé Division currently manages more than 80 private clubs, half of which are member-owned. Qualified members of Troon Privé-managed clubs receive reciprocal access to other private clubs in the portfolio at a preferred Privé Privilege rate, and tee times at Troon Golf-managed resort and daily-fee facilities around the world through the Troon Advantage program.
