Troon will manage the Coalville-area course as the long-debated luxury development enters its next chapter.

COALVILLE, Utah — Troon has been selected to manage Wohali Golf Club, marking a new step for the unfinished Coalville-area luxury golf development after months in bankruptcy court.

Troon Privé, the private club division of Scottsdale, Arizona-based Troon, will oversee club operations, agronomy, retail, membership sales, and marketing at the golf club, according to a Thursday announcement from the company.

The move comes after Wohali was acquired by its senior creditor, EB5AN Wohali Utah Fund XV, LP, through a court-approved credit bid, according to the announcement.

Wohali’s 18-hole Eagle Course is expected to reopen this summer with a 2026 Golf Discovery membership program. The par-72 course sits at more than 6,500 feet in elevation and measures 7,566 yards from the back tees. The course runs through a mountain valley with views of Lewis Peak.

“We look forward to working with ownership to help Wohali Golf Club realize its full potential,” said Justin Lake, Troon vice president of operations. “The golf course, which opened in 2024, is spectacular, and we are excited to welcome all who are interested to experience Wohali through a 2026 Golf Discovery membership program.”

TownLift previously reported that Wohali Land Estates LLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Aug. 8, 2025, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Utah. The filing followed multiple lawsuits by creditors and contractors, including claims by foreign investors alleging they were owed $85 million under a loan tied to the federal EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program.

In May, TownLift reported that court filings showed a sale agreement had been signed with EB5AN Wohali Utah Fund XV, LP, an investment fund connected to the EB-5 financing structure behind the project. The fund later acquired the property through the credit bid process.

The project, located north of Park City near Coalville, has long been promoted as a private mountain golf community. It was first approved in 2019 after a contentious rezoning process and has remained a flashpoint in Coalville, where critics raised concerns over water use, environmental impacts, and the long-term viability of the development.

CBRE’s Golf & Resort Group previously marketed Wohali through the bankruptcy sale process as a 4,950-acre private mountain resort community and backcountry preserve. The offering included a 1,588-acre master-planned resort development, a completed 18-hole championship course, an emerging short course, remaining estate lots, entitled resort-village units, and more than 3,300 acres of conserved backcountry.

Mike Schoenfeld of EB5AN Wohali Utah Fund XV, LP, said the fund is committed to advancing the property.

“Our investors believed in this property from the beginning, and we are committed to seeing it reach its potential,” Schoenfeld said. “The Eagle Course is a world-class asset, and we look forward to opening it this summer and working closely with Coalville and the local community.”

Eagle Peak Development, led by Bobby Masters, is also expected to work closely with the project, with a near-term focus on infrastructure and engagement with Coalville and other stakeholders.

Troon said its role will focus on the golf club and related operations. The company manages golf, club, and hospitality properties in more than 45 states and 40 countries.
