Troon Golf has announced that Golf For Women magazine has included four of their courses in their Top 50 Courses for Women.
Their contributions to this list are:

24. Troon North Golf Club – Pinnacle Course; Scottsdale, AZ
30. Monarch Beach Golf Links; Dana Point, CA
40. The Westin La Cantera – Resort Course; San Antonio, TX
According to Troon’s Press Release, Golf for Women has a stringent set of criteria, which includes, in order to be recognized as a Top 50 course, the facility must have at least one set of tees under 5,500 yards and should have at least two tees under 6,000 yards, and at least two tees rated for women. The course should be fair from all tees and should have few forced carries from the forward tees. It must be in top condition and visually pleasing. The magazine gives extra credit for strong women’s programs, well-stocked pro shops and options such as walking and child-care. GFW’s course-raters provide comments on their experience at the nominated courses and assign point values for playability, design variety, memorability, aesthetics, conditioning, ambience and women-friendliness. Judging begins with a large group of nominated courses that include past GFW Top 50 courses, eligible courses from Golf Digest’s Top 100 Pulbic Courses and courses nominated by GFW’s course raters.
Headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, Troon Golf manages operations at more than 160 courses located in 27 states and 18 countries. Additionally, 31 Troon Golf facilities enjoy a Top 100 ranking by national or international publications. Troon Golf properties include The Peninsula Golf & Country Club, Millsboro, Del.; The Westin Turnberry Resort, Ayrshire, Scotland; Monarch Beach Golf Links, Dana Point, Calif.; Lake of Isles, North Stonington, Conn.; The Ridge at Castle Pines North, Castle Rock, Colo.; Palmilla Golf Club, Los Cabos, Mexico; and Bearwood Lakes Golf Club, Berkshire, England.
