Changes
were made to the layout or structure of 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.
