Bradenton, Florida — Troon makes a power play in Food & Beverage

Hold onto your scorecards: Troon has shuffled the deck in its hospitality team and installed a seasoned operator to steer food and beverage across the Southeast. This is the kind of backstage move that matters to anyone who spends time on club terraces, in resort dining rooms, or grabbing a post-round bite — because who runs the kitchens and dining experiences changes the whole vibe.

Quick take on the promotion

Troon® announced the promotion of David Plevin to Corporate Senior Director of Food and Beverage, Southeast. The promotion is part of Troon’s ongoing growth across golf and hospitality sectors. Plevin is based in Troon’s Bradenton, Florida office. He joined Troon in 2023 as a director of food and beverage, previously serving as the general manager of Eagle Harbor Golf Club in Fleming Island, Florida.

Why this matters to golfers and club regulars

The person running Food & Beverage can make or break a member’s experience: consistent service, smart menu planning, and efficient operations all keep a club humming. Plevin brings a heavy background from the casual-dining and franchise world, with experience at Cheesecake Factory, Longhorn Steakhouse, and Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen. That kind of resume suggests a knack for systems, fiscal discipline, and scaling service standards — all useful when managing dozens or hundreds of venues.

What Plevin is known for

Over the years Plevin has developed and turned around various franchises and territories through a focus on culture and fiscal discipline. He is passionate about developing team members and creating confident leaders within the organization. Troon continues to invest in its workforce and reward achievements of current team members. Ed Doyle, Troon’s Executive Vice President of Food & Beverage, emphasized Plevin’s experience and commitment to driving exceptional hospitality experiences across Troon’s portfolio.

Scale and reach

Troon’s Food and Beverage Division manages over 600 operations at golf resorts, private clubs, daily fee golf courses, and recreational facilities worldwide. Troon operates at over 900 locations in 45+ states and 35+ countries, including management responsibility for over 575 18-hole equivalent golf courses. Troon is headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, and operates globally with offices in various states, including multiple locations in Florida, as well as in Virginia, Massachusetts, Illinois, California, Alabama, Washington, Texas, Switzerland, and Dubai.

What to watch next

Expect a sharper focus on team training, operational playbooks, and menu consistency at Troon properties across the Southeast. With a leader who has turned around franchises and territories before, the early wins are likely to be in food cost controls, staffing structure, and guest service reliability — things that translate into better meals and smoother service for members and resort guests alike.
