The Shanghai Masters will host many of the top 30 players in the world, and With prize money of $5 million dollars. In order to fully prepare for the tournament and meet higher requirements, Lake Malaren Golf Club has hired Nicklaus Design, who are one of the worlds leading golf course design companies to redesign our golf courses.
Since the complete renovation, construction commenced on the south lake course from June 2010. This redesign has become a major focus for Lake Malaren.
The main design concept of the south lakes course is to create a world class championship golf course that is challenging, fun, and fair for all golfing enthuasists. The course will test the best players in the world through a variety of different shots and strategic elements. It will also be a very exciting and fair golf course for the beginning to average golfers who will enjoy the large variety of dramatic holes and the natural beauty of the layout.
The south course is characterized as natural parkland style that incorporates many natural elements into the design. These elements include trees, natural grasses, lakes and streams, and a strong rolling topography giving the course, a significant amount of elevation change and a wide variety of different golf shots. The course will have a very natural feel and look, that will be both aesthetically pleasing aswell as strategically sound.
The course will have fantastic variety of features that will give the course alot of interest and a variety of challenge while being very fun and exciting to play. The elevation changes throughout the golf course will create very beautiful and dramatic golf holes.
The course will have the appearance of being very challenging, but it will be very fair and golfers will quickly realize that if they play the correct shot, they will be rewarded and have the opportunity to score very well.
We envision Lake Malarens newly designed Nicklaus Legacy course will be a true masterpiece and a wonderful golfing experience.
