| Troon Selected to Manage Steelwood Country Club | “Steelwood
Country Club is a very special place. Its unparalleled amenities and secluded
surroundings provide a unique private club experience unlike any other
in the state,” said Jim McLaughlin, senior vice president, Troon Privé
Operations. “We look forward to working with the club's dedicated board
of directors as we develop and implement new strategies to grow membership
and stimulate awareness for Steelwood.”
In addition to golf, Steelwood offers an array of activities for outdoor enthusiasts. The on-site fishing camp provides members with electric powered boats and fishing equipment to utilize on Steelwood Lake, a 200-acre freshwater lake stocked with bass and bream. Steelwood members also have access to daily quail and pheasant hunting excursions during season, along with Hydro-clay tennis courts, an outdoor swimming pool, fitness room and scenic hiking trails. At the heart of Steelwood is the clubhouse. The main dining room provides an upscale dining experience with elegant Southern cuisine and an extensive selection of fine wines. The Clubhouse Lounge offers a more relaxed dining experience with lighter fare, casual seating and large screen TVs. The Veranda, which is a popular venue for weddings and events, offers ample open-air dining, outdoor fireplaces and breathtaking lake views. The clubhouse also includes several smaller banquet and meeting rooms which can be reserved for business meetings and private events. On-site accommodations are available for out-of-town guests at The Stewart Lodges at Steelwood. The two fully furnished lodges offer 20 private guest rooms and baths. In addition, guests have access to full kitchen, billiards, card tables, movie theatre/conference room, outdoor swimming pool, private chef and more. “We are absolutely thrilled to have Steelwood managed by Troon,” said Terry Chapman, president of Steelwood's board of directors. “Not only does Troon bring a myriad of benefits to our members, but their success for managing private clubs and proven ability to help grow membership will be vital for Steelwood's success.” Steelwood Country Club is located within a short drive from Gulf Shores, Ala. and the Eastern Shore including Daphne, Fairhope and Mobile, Ala.

Steelwood
Country Club is nestled within a 1,500 acre, secluded and gated community
just north of Alabama's Gulf Coast. The Club features a beautifully conditioned
18-hole golf course designed by former U.S. Open Champion Jerry Pate. Stretching
more than 7,100 yards, this award-winning championship golf course meanders
through rolling hills, dense hardwood forests and natural wetlands. More
than one third of the course offers panoramic views of Steelwood Lake including
the 18th hole which is as scenic as it is strategic. Since its inception
in 1997, Steelwood has garnered numerous awards including best in state
by Golf Digest, and hosts numerous tournaments including the top tournament
for the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA). The golf facility also
has an expansive driving range and state-of-the-art teaching facility.
