The eagerly awaited Yoshikazu Kato designed Lakes Course at Blue Canyon opened to members and visitors on 1st March 1999. Players have found that this latest masterpiece in golf course design is a formidable test of golfing skills and a worthy companion for the world renowned Canyon Course.
The 7,129 yard par 72 course has been designed to cater for a broad range of golfers with Silver Tees being added between the Red and White Tees. With Black and Blue Tees, a total of five sets of tees offer a complete golfing experience for all standards of golfers.
When designing the course, Yoshikazu Kato kept the land flow relatively unchanged. The front 9 runs through a landscape of lakes and natural canyons while the back 9 weaves its way around scenic lakes and soft, whispering woodlands of rubber trees. Water comes into play on 17 of the 18 holes. To get to the mildly undulating greens, one must avoid the course’s 34 bunkers which cover key landing areas and green surrounds. |
