At the 2024 World Golf Awards, the clubhouse was abuzz with more than just the clink of irons; Troon International was making a racket louder than a Sunday crowd at the 18th hole!
This titan of golf and club-related leisure, which leads the pack from Dubai to Dublin, has outdone itself, sweeping up an astonishing 22 awards across 15 top-tier facilities around the globe.
Picture this: a world map sprinkled with flags, each one not just claiming a spot of land but celebrating a victory in golf.
That’s the visual spectacle Troon International has created. Stretching from the desert sands of the UAE to the lush, verdant courses of Europe, their facilities stand out.
They’re not merely patches of grass—they’re centres of excellence and hubs of creativity in the golfing world.
Leading the pack was Al Zorah Golf Club in the UAE, which didn’t just win but won big.
It’s now officially the Middle East’s Best Eco-Friendly Golf Facility, Best Golf Course, and Best Golf Real Estate Venue.
Not too shabby for a course that’s as friendly to your feet as it is to the environment.
Not far behind, Madinaty Golf Club in Egypt swiped the titles of Africa’s Best Golf Course and Egypt’s Best Golf Course, making it a beacon for golf in the region.
Meanwhile, in Asia, Victoria Golf Resort, Prestige Golfshire Club, and Vattanac Golf Resort – East Course each took home the Best in Country awards, spreading the glory from Sri Lanka to Cambodia.
Europe wasn’t left out of the spotlight either. Costa Navarino stole the show, snagging the titles of World’s Best Golf Venue and World’s Best Golf Clubhouse—a double win that’s pure gold for Greece.
Meanwhile, the PGA National Czech Republic kept its winning streak alive, once again being crowned Best in Country.
DJ Flanders, the man at the helm of Troon International’s ever-expanding ship, couldn’t contain his pride, stating, “These awards are a testament to each of our ownerships and their commitment to sustainable development and best-in-class golf experiences.
“We are incredibly honoured to be recognized at the 2024 World Golf Awards, which is a testament to the hard work and high standards that our teams maintain day in and day out, delivering the Troon Golf experience.
