Course Description
The course is situated on the Arabella estate that was originally known as "Laughing waters". It began as a barley farm and is in an area designated as a “World Biosphere" site. The area is currently earmarked as a potential "World Heritage" site. Completed in December 1999, this challenging golf course was designed by a team headed by the renowned architect Peter Malkovich. The greatest challenge for the design team was to maintain a balance between man and nature. The team successfully encompassed the mountain backdrops, the lagoon forest and coastal aspects of the estate to create a course that compliments the environment without disappointing the golfer. The course is diverse with links, parklands and coastal aspects within it. Features of the course are its wide fairways with plenty of bunkers and water hazards, and well-kept "bend grass" greens. The tough par-3 17th alongside the lagoon requires a precise tee shot. Miss the green right and you could be on the beach.
