Forest Ridge Golf Club in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma has selected Troon as its new management provider. Troon Golf, the company’s resort and daily-fee management division, will oversee all operations including golf, agronomy, food and beverage, and sales and marketing for the 18-hole, semi-private facility.
Forest Ridge opened in 1989 as the area’s first upscale, public golf club and is the centerpiece of the Forest Ridge master-planned community. Forest Ridge is built on land that was once a cattle ranch owned by L.S. Robson, the grandfather of Joe Robson, who developed Forest Ridge. The Robson Family Ranch stretched from Broken Arrow to Catoosa and still exists today on a portion of the land. After the death of Nick Robson, Joe’s father, the ranch was leased to conserve 2,000 wild mustang horses. The par-72 golf course was designed by native Oklahoman Randy Heckenkemper and measures 7,083 yards.
“Forest Ridge is a beautiful community and the club facilities are excellent,” Troon Golf president Mitch Harrell said. “Our Troon Golf team will now look to further advance the club’s service levels, agronomy standards and overall club operations. We are thrilled to be working with the Robson family and the Forest Ridge community.”
In addition to the golf club, the Forest Ridge community features a 10-mile trail system, private lakes and parks.
“At Forest Ridge, we have always committed ourselves to offer the best facilities and quality of service to our members and guests,” Forest Ridge developer Joe Robson said. “Troon Golf shares our vision. We are excited about this partnership that will take Forest Ridge to an even higher level of excellence.”
