Troon Golf, the leader in upscale golf course management, development and marketing is pleased to announce its association with Golden Eagle Investments, Inc. in the renovation and expansion of the Grand Oaks Golf Course, soon to be re-named The Country Club of Oxford. Upon completion of the renovation, the facility, which is located in the residential community of Grand Oaks, will be an 18-hole private club catering to Oxford, Mississippi's growing professional population and strong alumni network.

The Jim Fazio re-designed golf course at The Country Club of Oxford will meander through lush, mature trees while passing by several lakes that will come into play on multiple holes. The course will experience significant elevation changes as it plays through the hills and valleys of the northern Mississippi countryside. The fertile soil on which the golf course will be built will provide an excellent foundation for local foliage such as dogwood trees and azalea bushes.

In addition to the top-quality private Mississippi golf course, the club will offer a new practice area including a driving range, and recreational amenities such as tennis and swimming. New facilities to be built in conjunction with the golf course expansion include a clubhouse featuring a full-service golf shop, fully appointed men's and women's locker rooms, lounge, restaurant, exercise facilities and meeting rooms. The clubhouse and surrounding facilities will be built with Southern themes, taking into account the charm, culture and architectural subtleties of the region. The private Oxford golf course is scheduled to be ready for play in 2006 and the additional structures built thereafter.
