ICON began as a golf course management company, and has grown into management of country clubs, recreational amenities and homeowners associations across Florida and beyond. Also, Troon and company Founder and Executive Chairman Dana Garmany and wife Amanda, recently donated CPR training kits to two Phoenix-area high schools.
Troon has acquired ICON Management Services, a Florida-based golf, tennis, amenity and community association management company that was founded in 2007.
ICON began as a golf course management company, and has grown into management of country clubs, recreational amenities and homeowners associations across Florida and beyond. The company currently manages 18 golf courses, 52 communities, 60 HOAs as well as 19 additional amenities/town centers.
Over the last 15 years, the company has expanded from one property and three employees to nearly 100 properties and 1,800 team members. Owners and members of ICON-managed communities, amenities and club facilities will continue to receive the support and client services they have come to expect from ICON, with enhanced support and service from Troon.
“Our merger with Troon is an incredible opportunity for our business, and a testament to the outstanding team we have assembled,” said ICON President Wes Miller. “Moving forward, our goals and vision remain unchanged. We will continue to deliver ‘ICONic Service’ to our many residents, members, guests, and clients, and do so with a larger network of resources supporting us.”
With the sale, ICON Founder Dennis Colletti will pursue other interests and will no longer be involved with ICON Management or Troon. Wes Miller will remain as President of ICON. ICON employees will continue in their current positions at their respective communities, amenities or country clubs where their roles and responsibilities remain the same.
Current plans call for ICON’s Florida offices—Bradenton, Fort Myers and Orlando—to continue and support managed-clubs and communities throughout Troon’s full family of brands. In addition to its global headquarters in Scottsdale, Ariz., Troon now has five offices in Florida (Palm Beach Gardens, Jacksonville in addition to the ICON offices), plus Reston, Va.; Newton, Mass.; Chicago, Ill.; Irvine, Calif.; Birmingham, Ala.; Seattle, Wash.; New Braunfels, Texas; and Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
“ICON’s commitments to culture, quality service and outstanding team of professionals – as well as its complementary community and club portfolio – presented a strategic growth opportunity for Troon,” said Troon President and CEO Tim Schantz. “With the addition of ICON, we significantly expand our HOA management capabilities regionally and nationwide, while also supporting the ICON team with their current goals and valued clients.”
Troon’s purchase of ICON Management Services continues its efforts to build out services and scale for the benefit of its clients, including building expertise in racket sports through the acquisitions of Peter Burwash International and Cliff Drysdale Management, the nation’s largest racket sports management company; further defining food and beverage expertise through the acquisition of RealFood Hospitality, Strategy and Design; and in combining industry leading golf management companies including Honours Golf, Green Golf Partners, OB Sports Golf Management, Premier Golf Centers and Indigo Golf Partners.
In other company news, Troon and company Founder and Executive Chairman Dana Garmany and wife Amanda, recently donated CPR training kits to two Phoenix-area high schools. Students in health classes at Cactus Shadows High School in Cave Creek, Ariz. and Horizon High School in Scottsdale received training from the American Heart Association on how to administer CPR. The CPR kits, which include an inflatable Mini Anne® personal CPR manikin, provide the opportunity for students to learn basic lifesaving skills. Troon and the Garmanys donated more than two dozen CPR kits to the two high schools.
“The CPR training kits are a great way to give students real-life scenarios and teach them, that even in the most awkward situations, you can still jump in and save someone’s life,” said Amanda Garmany, who serves as chairperson for the American Heart Association’s Heart Ball. “The more people who know how to administer CPR, the greater the chance a life can be saved of someone in cardiac arrest.”
CPR – or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation – is an emergency lifesaving procedure performed when the heart stops beating. According to American Heart Association statistics, 5,000 people each year have sudden cardiac arrest in Arizona. CPR, especially if administered immediately after cardiac arrest, can double or triple a person’s chance of survival. About 90 percent of people who experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest die.
