Golf Tournament Director Spotlight 

3 Min Read

Golf Tournament Director Matthew Bantly creates events, organizes registration and implements tournament operations at Torreon Golf Club. Hired in May of 2024, Bantly said he enjoys his job very much.

“We host everything from Couples Mixers events (where couples team up and compete against other couples) to highly competitive Matchplay tournaments that last through the whole season,” he said. “The most important thing is to make sure all members feel they have a tournament they love and are comfortable to play in, no matter what their skill level is.”

Bantly oversees Deuce’s Wild, a signature Torreon Men’s Member/Guest Tournament, to provide a top-of-the-line experience for members to show their guests, and also works with Torreon’s women’s and men’s golf associations to create unique tournaments that provide an exciting experience for all members at Torreon. 

The Torreon Junior Clinic program for children ages 5-12 is another way Bantly draws people into golfing. 

“This is where I work with children ages 5-12, to grow the game of golf,” he said. “I truly enjoy working with kids and would love to grow this program in the future. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a child that you taught grow up into a phenomenal golfer.”

Bantly said when he first started working at Torreon, he was surprised by the natural beauty of the property. 

“You truly feel nature surrounding you at Torreon Golf Club,” he said. “There is an abundance of wildlife that members witness daily. I am privileged to be able to work in such a beautiful environment.”

In conclusion, Bantly said he enjoys building relationships with the members of Torreon Golf Club, and it is a privilege to get to know people and their families.

“I hope all members know that they can come to me, and I will do whatever is needed to make sure they feel appreciated and satisfied with their experience at Torreon,” he said. “As a leader, I hope my actions are a shining example of what great customer service should be in the golf industry.”

For more information on Torreon events, Bantly directs members to sign up on the Torreon Member Portal under either men’s or women’s golf. Every upcoming event will have a button that will lead each person through registration for the event. The website is private to Torreon.
