"..sound management practices are creating a showcase of success for other private equity clubs to follow,"

Troon Executive VP, Operations, John Easterbrook

BallenIsles Country Club Crowned FACILITY OF THE YEAR

Palm Beach Gardens, Fl. Jan 31, 2011 -Troon Golf, the world's largest golf management company, overseeing operations at properties located in 30 states and 23 countries has honored BallenIsles Country Club with the coveted distinction, "FACILITY OF THE YEAR".

The top honor to BallenIsles was announced during the 2011 Troon Golf Leadership Conference in Scottsdale, Arizona, January 17-20.

Congratulating BallenIsles General Manager Derrick Barnett and his management team, Troon Golf's Executive Vice President, Operations, John Easterbrook said, "BallenIsles is an extraordinary example of how sound management practices are creating a showcase of success for other private equity clubs to follow."

"The stellar results from an extensive survey of member satisfaction are testimony to both the Club's operational excellence and financial performance," Easterbrook added.

BallenIsles nearly tripled its "Net Promoter" ranking, used to evaluate loyalty and the Club's relationships scores.

Finalists for the award included St. James Plantation and Indian Wells Golf Resort.

This is the second outstanding facilities award in as many years for BallenIsles from Troon.
Last year on the heels of the completion of the Club's new state-of-the-art Sports Complex, BallenIsles was honored as the "MOST IMPROVED FACILITY OF THE YEAR"

The $26 million Sports Complex at BallenIsles set a standard of wellness and fitness that is testimony to the Club's extraordinary commitment to a healthy member lifestyle. Set on 62,000 square feet amidst BallenIsles' tropical oasis of 1,300 acres, the new Sports Complex is adjacent to a world class 22-court tennis complex complete with an exhibition tennis court and stadium seating.

BallenIsles is also highly regarded for its championship golf courses, where many golf legends originally qualified for the PGA Tour. Whether it's the $9 million redesigned East Course by award winning golf course architect Keith Foster, the North Course, designed by Joe Lee, or the South Course, redesigned by Gene Bates, members enjoy the exceptional choice of playing at three distinct courses at BallenIsles.

Although restricted to members and their guests, BallenIsles' exceptional facilities have a distinguished history as the choice of many professional athletes for both practice and competition. These include members, Venus and Serena Williams and the Senior PGA Tour's major success story, Bruce Fleisher. For more information visit www.BallenIsles.org.
