Resorts spotlight: IMG properties

At IGTM, IMG have seven properties sharing their stand with many more taking their own booths. It’s a network that spans the globe with over 150 courses in the company’s Golf Course Services division. We asked Russell Hannah, VP, IMG Golf Course Services, to explain more

Which IMG properties are exhibiting on your stand at the show?

“Mar Hall (Scotland), SCHLOSS Roxburghe (Scotland), Trump International Golf Links (Scotland), Ba Na Hills (Vietnam), Zala Springs (Hungary), Hann Reserve (Philippines), and Paragraph Tabori (Georgia).”

Explain how IMG works with these – and many more – resorts

IMG works with more than 150 courses around the world through our Golf Course Services division. While all offer unique characteristics, there is always a consistency in the quality of destinations that we work with.”

Talk us through some of the golfing highlights on offer

“There are a mix of styles of courses that we work with, as well as courses at varying stages in their own journey. Hann Reserve and Tabori are brand new destinations, whereas some of our Scottish venues are well established within their own markets.

“We have some incredibly striking features across our portfolio – from the towering viaduct that flanks the 14th hole at SCHLOSS Roxburghe, to the cable car that connects Paragraph Tabori from its mountain-top location into the Georgian capital of Tbilisi.”

The Roxburghe is one of Scotland’s finest inland resorts

Across IMG destinations, you have an incredible range of locations

“We have golf courses in almost every golf-playing country on the planet, and continue to open up new markets for the sport. Our new property in Georgia (Paragraph Tabori) will help to put the country on the map, with a world-class academy and accessible layout creating a whole new generation of golfers.

“Similarly, Hann Reserve will be the home of the PGA in the Philippines when it opens in early 2026, providing best-in-class tuition for one of Asia’s fastest growing markets.

“In terms of convenience – Mar Hall is just 15 minutes from Glasgow Airport and has recently undergone a £30m renovation.”

Paragraph Tabori is a brand-new destination that is putting Georgia on the golfing map

Give us a flavour of the off-course attractions your properties offer

“Our properties offer a myriad of options away from the golf course itself. A selection from the seven properties on our stand include:

What sets IMG properties apart?

“The best thing about the network is that there’s somewhere to play, 12 months a year. The 65,000 members of our network clubs enjoy preferential access to each other’s facilities, meaning that golf can continue throughout the seasons – and there’s always somewhere new to try!”
