Well-established 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 bunkers.

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.
