Despite adding 450 sprinkler heads, the new system at Quail Ridge significantly improves efficiency by allowing individual control of each of the 650 heads. Troon will provide development services at Three Bridges, a new luxury residential-resort community in Salem, Utah. In addition, when community amenities begin to open in 2026, Troon Privé, the private club operating division of Troon, will manage club operations, agronomy, food & beverage, and membership sales and marketing. Three Bridges will feature multiple lifestyle amenities including an 18-hole Robert Trent Jones II designed golf course and an all-season pickleball and indoor golf facility, hiking and biking trails. Last, but not least, Erie County, N.Y., plans to convert the former Westwood Country Club into Willowdale Park, featuring a restored nine-hole golf course, trails, and inclusive amenities, with funding secured and public opening set for 2026.

He shares insights on effectively managing up (with the board), down (with department heads), and across (with other directors) to align the team and drive success. The conversation also covers Langley's strategies for engaging with golf course superintendents and committees, including the value of hands-on site visits and a calm, rational approach to navigating high-stress situations. Langley stresses the need for superintendents to develop strong presentation and communication skills to effectively advocate for their needs.

Afterwards, We'll discuss whether open houses really help to sell homes.First, here are some statistics from our local market:We've had 1,108 sales in the first quarter of 2015, compared to only 898 sales at this time last yearOur average sale price rose by $4,000 this year to reach $416,000Home sales of properties over $1 million have been sluggish, but we do expect that market to pick up as we enter the busy season Now, about open houses....do they work?We get this question a lot, and the truth is that open houses don't always work for every property. There are different ways to sell each home, and every Realtor will have a different strategy to sell. I wouldn't recommend pushing for one if your real estate agent doesn't recommend it. If a home is highly sought-after, it may be a good idea, but sometimes these events can fall flat.One last thing is that I'm currently at a beautiful listing we have at 2988 Valentino in Quail Ridge. It's a Rancher that's just under 3,000 sq. ft. There is a stunning view from the back deck, and it's also right near two golf courses and the university.As always, if you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me. I'm always here to help!
