Troon to manage Wohali Golf Club as Eagle Course reopens this summer
Troon will take over Wohali Golf Club as the Eagle Course reopens, giving the troubled Coalville project a professional lift after bankruptcy and a lender takeover.
Troon has been chosen to manage Wohali Golf Club in Coalville, bringing a national private-club operator into one of Summit County’s most closely watched luxury developments just as the Eagle Course prepares to reopen this summer.
Troon Privé, the company’s private club division, will oversee club operations, agronomy, retail and membership sales and marketing. The move gives Wohali a higher-profile management structure at a moment when developers are trying to turn a heavily financed and legally tangled project into a functioning mountain destination with golfers, buyers and outside capital.
The Eagle Course opened in 2024 as an 18-hole, par-72 layout stretching 7,566 yards from the back tees. Set at more than 6,500 feet in a secluded mountain valley with views of Lewis Peak, the course is part of Wohali, a master-planned mountain community about 43 miles northeast of Salt Lake City and just minutes north of Park City. A 2026 Golf Discovery membership program is expected to welcome golfers back when the course reopens.
The management change comes after a turbulent bankruptcy process that shifted control away from the original developers. Wohali was acquired by its senior creditor, EB5AN Wohali Utah Fund XV, LP, through a court-approved credit bid after the original developers could not repay a loan of roughly $79 million tied to the project. EB5AN, which represented 99 anonymous foreign creditors through a federal incentive program, said it intends to continue developing Wohali’s residential side and fulfill infrastructure commitments to Coalville.
That matters beyond the clubhouse. If Troon can stabilize operations and help fill memberships, it could strengthen demand for the homes and lots that were supposed to anchor the larger development. A polished club operator can also make a project easier to market to high-end buyers and investors, while adding pressure on nearby land values in and around Coalville and the Park City corridor.
The reorganization also leaves unresolved legal fights behind the scenes. Bankruptcy Judge Peggy Hunt rejected a bid on May 13 by some founding members and concerned owners to force the new owners to honor golf memberships that were reportedly priced at $150,000 in 2024. Hunt also denied an attempt to block the acquisition while the owners appeal the sale.
EB5AN is still pursuing additional parcels held by the original developers in state court, a move the concerned owners have said violates bankruptcy rules. Meanwhile, Eagle Peak Development, EB5AN’s development arm, is expected to focus on infrastructure and engagement with Coalville and other stakeholders. Its leadership says it has built and operated more than 15 communities across about 25,000 acres and 30,000 residential homes, including Bay Creek and Currahee Club.
