Half Moon Bay Golf Links, the world-class, 36-hole golf resort set against the dramatic cliffs of the Pacific Ocean and just minutes from San Francisco and San Jose, named Bill Troyanoski its general manager.
 
An industry veteran with more than 20 years experience in operations and club management, Troyanoski will oversee operations at Half Moon Bay Golf Links' two 18-hole courses: The Old Course, an American parkland style layout designed by Arnold Palmer; and Ocean Course, an Arthur Hills linksland design that is nationally renown for its closing holes perched above the Pacific.
 
Troyanoski and his staff will implement an aggressive business plan and guest experience model that will reassert Half Moon Bay Golf Links as one of the great golf destinations of the world including: elevating and enhancing the facilities' relationship with the onsite Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay; creating new associations with area accommodation partners and corporate and charitable organizations; and bolstering culinary programs at Mullins Bar & Grill, Half Moon Bay Golf Links' onsite, fireside restaurant and pub.
 
"Bill brings an incredible amount of experience and energy to Half Moon Bay Golf Links," said Mark Kendall, president of Kenmark, operator of Half Moon Bay Golf Links. "We're excited by his vision for new programs and commitment to resort guests and local homeowners with an unparalleled golf experience."
 
"Half Moon Bay Golf Links is one of the premier golf resorts in the world and I look forward to working with my staff to re-establish its place in the golfing pantheon," said Troyanoski. "There are only a handful of properties in the world that can boast having a two ocean-front, 18-hole golf courses, a world-class luxury hotel on site, a full-service proshop, chef-driven restaurant with fireside dining and five-star service."
