Scottsdale,
AZ – October 2024 / NewsmakerAlert:
Troon®,
the leader in providing golf and club-related leisure and hospitality services,
is pleased to announce it has been selected to manage Sparrows
Point Country Club, a private club in Baltimore, Maryland. Troon will
manage club operations, agronomy, food & beverage, and membership sales
and marketing.
Overlooking
Bear Creek, a tributary to the Chesapeake Bay, Sparrows Point Country Club
was originally founded in 1925 by the Bethlehem Steel Company. Nearly 30
years later, in 1952, the Club moved to its current location and architect
William Gordon was commissioned to build nine holes. By 1961, aided by
a booming steel industry, the Club was expanded to 27 holes. Today, Sparrows
Point features an 18-hole championship course, an Olympic-size swimming
pool, lighted Har-Tru tennis courts, a clubhouse with a golf shop and restaurant,
and a 62-slip deep-water marina.

“A
transformational time at Sparrows Point Country Club is ahead of us and
Troon’s strong foundation and leadership will help make Sparrows Point
CC a top club in Baltimore in the coming years. Troon’s existing presence
in the market make them the best option to manage all aspects of the Club.
We celebrate our 100th anniversary next year and couldn’t be more excited
to enhance the member experience at the clubhouse, on the course and on
the water,” said Conor
O. Gilligan, Co-Owner and President.
Construction
on the new community The
Cove at Sparrows Point Country Club is currently underway by Beazer Homes
and Sparrows Point Country Club Owner Craftsmen Cos. Located adjacent to
the Country Club, The Cove will feature upscale townhomes, age-targeted

with the purchase. Home sales are expected to begin in the winter of 2025.
