UK golf architects Hawtree & Sons were contracted to plan
this modification and design work which has culminated in the
creation of the new, exciting 18-hole Millennium Golf Course.
Refurbishment to the existing nine holes commenced in May 1999
and included the complete rebuilding of the tees, greens and
the old nine holes, but several new design features were incorporated
with a view to simplifying the strategy of the course and in
order to make it more golfer-friendly. This applies especially
to holes 8 and 9, the only ones on this loop with water hazards.
Also, many of the bunkers have been re-shaped and the smaller
greens expanded.
This renovated North course has been joined together with
the new 9-hole loop to offer a layout of different character,
style and playing quality to the remaining Laguna Course.
The two nines of the Millennium Course complement each other
handsomely and have strong traits of Martin Hawtree's traditional
architectural style. The new nine holes are located west of
the clubhouse which has also been extended and renovated and
will accommodate players and visitors to both the Laguna and
Millennium courses.
The
terrain is partially open; similar to that of the original
27 holes, whereas the remainder meanders through attractive
pinetrees so the fairways tend to be narrow, placing a premium
on accurate play.
