Schaffer’s Mill turns to Troon for management

Troon has been selected to manage Schaffer’s Mill, a private club and community in Truckee, California, located just minutes from Lake Tahoe. Troon Privé, the private club operating division of Troon, will oversee club operations, agronomy, food & beverage, and membership sales and marketing.

From award-winning golf to skiing the powdered slopes of nearby Northstar, Schaffer’s Mill is a four-season community with multiple family-friendly amenities. The club’s Johnny Miller- and John Harbottle-designed 18-hole golf course was named one of the top new courses shortly after its 2008 debut. The course’s outward or “Meadow” nine ambles through firs, spruce and Ponderosa pines at the base of a ridge, while the inward “Mountain” nine showcases elevation changes of up to 400 feet. Golfers enjoy views of the Martis Valley, Lookout Mountain, and the Carson Range.

“We are honored to be chosen by and to be working with the members and board at Schaffer’s Mill,” Troon operations director Justin Lake said. “The club, community and four-season amenities are truly exceptional. We are committed to elevating the property into one of the nation’s premier club communities. Our Troon Privé team will lead this effort by enhancing consistency across service, agronomy, and food and beverage, enriching the member experience, and supporting the exclusive accommodations vacation rental program.”
