Troon Privé will manage the Santa Rosa, Calif., club that was affected by the Tubbs Fire of 2017. While the clubhouse and maintenance facility were burned, the golf course emerged unscathed. The club will break ground on a new clubhouse in 2019 while continuing to serve members from its Athletic Center and other facilities.
The Fountaingrove Club, a member-owned private club located in Santa Rosa, Calif., has selected Troon Privé, the private club operations division of Troon, to manage the club.
Located in the hills northeast of Santa Rosa, The Fountaingrove Club is experiencing a revitalization following the Tubbs Fire of October 2017, which destroyed 5,643 structures in Santa Rosa including Fountaingrove’s clubhouse and maintenance facility.
In 2019, the club will break ground on a new clubhouse. In the interim and while the new clubhouse is being built, the club’s 10,000 sq. ft. Athletic Center, which went unscathed in the Tubbs Fire, will remain the center of club and community activities.
Even while waiting for the new clubhouse, Fountaingrove members can enjoy club-dining options in an array of settings, with wood-fire pizza ovens and portable culinary facilities providing fresh, local cuisine in a variety of locations, including on the practice range, next to the pool or in the Athletic Center.
As part of the Athletic Center complex, there are also five tennis courts and a 25-yard infinity swimming pool. Members also have an array of fitness opportunities including martial arts, yoga, aquatics, personal training, spin and strength training.
The property features a Ted Robinson Sr.-designed golf course with views of the Hood and Taylor Mountains as well as the hills of Santa Rosa Valley. The golf course was also spared from the Tubbs Fire and has remained fully operational, hosting member play and numerous tournaments.
“We’re excited to partner with Troon,” said Mark Herculson, The Fountaingrove Club’s Board President. “Troon’s expertise and depth of resources in the private-club arena will give our members superior golf, athletic and dining experiences, and will help our club realize stronger financial performance, enhanced employee satisfaction and an increased ability to attract and retain new members.”
Added Rob DeMore, President of Troon Privé: “The Fountaingrove Club has always been a family-friendly club with a focus on recreation, activities and fun. We are honored to be working with the residents and members on the new and improved Fountaingrove Club, and look forward to enhancing an already incredible property.”
