Dec. 22, 2004 – Troon Golf has announced that it had launched its own golfing privilege card that provides access and special benefits to some of the finest golf courses in the Australia-Pacific region.

The Troon Card is a program that allows card holders to experience great benefits including:
* Special access to Troon Golf-managed courses including Brookwater and The Vintage
* Up to 30 per cent off standard green fees at all Troon managed courses in the Asia-Pacific region
* Card holders can have a guest play for the same rate
* The chance to play in the Troon Invitational Series in 2005
* Special offers from Troon's preferred partners
* Special "stay & play" packages
* Subscription to "Troon Talk" – Troon's quarterly newsletter

The Troon Card is offered via subscription on a 12 month basis from 1 January each year for an annual fee of AUD$25 (including GST).

Troon Golf Australia-Pacific Director of Sales & Marketing Nick Stewart said the Troon Card was a great way for keen golfers to play some of the best courses in the Australia-Pacific and experience what it is like to be a member for a day. "The Troon Card has been developed for golfers who enjoy playing quality courses and receiving friendly service," Mr Stewart said.

"The card more than pays for itself after one use so it provides great value for money together with a number of other benefits."

"Troon Card holders can pass the great savings onto their friends as they are able to bring one guest to play at the preferred Troon Card rate. To subscribe for a Troon Card all you need to do is visit our website at www.troongolf.com.au and complete the subscription form," he said.

In Australia, Troon Golf's existing facilities such as Brookwater Golf Club in Brisbane and The Vintage Golf Club in the Hunter Valley continue to receive accolades with all of the company's courses ranked in the Top 50 in the country.

Troon Golf also manages the South Pacific's leading golf course - the Denarau Golf & Racquet Club in Fiji. Golf courses at Twin Creeks, Kooindah Waters and Pacific Dunes in New South Wales and Pacific Harbour in Queensland will be opening throughout 2005.

Troon Golf is the recognised leader in prestige golf course management, development and marketing around the world. The company currently manages 140 golf courses in 12 countries including the USA, Scotland, Japan, Mexico and the Bahamas.
