The first golf resort built in Australia with Greg Norman as its tour professional at the time. Renowned Scottish designer, Desmond Muirhead said that the land site was one of the best he had ever worked with.
Now, after eight years in the wilderness during the global financial crisis, Peter Huang, founder of the Yong Real Estate group, purchased and re-opened the golf course and resort in 2016.
Course Superintendent Jeremy Parry set about re-designing and re-building all of the greens, the bunkers have been re-shaped and refurbished with pure white sand and a new irrigation system has been installed.
After the multi-million dollar make-over, the course is ready to impress the golfing world once again.
