Oldfield Club Chooses Troon to Manage Property

The South Carolina facility has an 18-hole Greg Norman-designed golf course; Sports Club with cardio and strength training equipment, heated lap pool, large outdoor pool, wellness and nutrition clinics, and tennis and pickleball courts; and an Equestrian Center. One of the club’s leaders said Troon Privé’s experience was a factor in why they were selected to manage the facilities. “This expertise and leadership will be critical as we navigate the changing landscape for the private, lifestyle communities while remaining true to the essence of Oldfield,” says Oldfield Club President Mark Rovnak.

Oldfield Club has selected Troon to manage its private, member-owned community in Okatie, S.C. along the banks of the Okatie River.

Troon Privé, the private club operating division of Troon, will manage golf operations and agronomy, the Equestrian Center, Sports Club, Outfitters Center, food & beverage, and membership marketing, as well as Oldfield’s community association.

Oldfield, an Audubon International Certified Sustainable Community, offers an array of amenities for residents and members, including an 18-hole Greg Norman-designed golf course; Sports Club with cardio and strength training equipment, heated lap pool, large outdoor pool, wellness and nutrition clinics, and tennis and pickleball courts; and an Equestrian Center. Oldfield’s Outfitters Center provides a comprehensive offering of outdoor activities including fishing, boating and boat storage, shooting sports, kayaking, and nature programming, which capitalize on the community’s outdoor lifestyle.

The River Club is the community’s centerpiece for dining, relaxing and conversation, affording members and guests with panoramic views of the marsh and river. The Magnolia Grill, located in the Oldfield Clubhouse, is a casual dining destination for lunch and dinner.

“We feel privileged to be entrusted by both Boards at Oldfield, Club and Community Association, as they seek to further elevate the quality of the lifestyle experience for all residents and members,” said Joe Langford, vice president of operations for Troon. “Our team is thrilled to get started at Oldfield and will look to further elevate the club and community in terms of service, food and beverage offerings, experience, and more.”
