Troon will manage Oakhurst’s golf and club operations, food & beverage, retail, golf course agronomy, and membership marketing.

Prior to her nine years at Contra Costa, Rognlien worked as the membership director at Berkeley Country Club and as the regional tournament sales director for American Golf Corporation. She brings a broad set of skills and associations that will benefit Oakhurst and is deeply engaged in the local and national chapters of Club Management Association of America. She recently earned Level 1 status from the American Sommelier Association.

Named the “Best New Course in Northern California” by California Golf Magazine when it opened in 1990, Oakhurst Country Club features an 18-hole links-style layout designed by architect Ron Fream. The course plays through 360 acres of lakes and natural wetlands in the foothills of Mount Diablo. Oakhurst’s golf practice facilities include a double-sided driving range and three large putting greens. In addition to golf, members enjoy four lighted tennis courts, a pool and fitness facility with a Junior Olympic-size pool, fitness rooms, state-of-the-art cardiovascular and weight-training equipment.
