Laguna Quays Resort (Turtle Point course) (aka Laguna Whitsundays Resort): RESORT and GOLF COURSE WERE CLOSED IN 2012, with no clear plan to re-open. Laguna Quays is now owned by a Chinese company, Fullshare Holdings, which is controlled by Nanjing-based businessman Ji Changqun. Check current resort status before planning a visit.
[Original Where2Golf description]: The Turtle Point course at Laguna Quays Resort is a well-rated and always popular layout. Located on the mainland rather than on any one of the nearby Whitsunday Islands, this tree-lined parkland course should not disappoint, with many attractive features and several excellent holes to enjoy. Plenty of golfing challenge, a well-crafted design and usually good upkeep all contribute to the appeal of this course.
Check with club/resort, if and when it reopens.
Good
The Whitsundays are a collection of islands off the central coast of Queensland. They are centred on Whitsunday island (the largest in the collection) and include Hamilton Island, as the commercial centre (and home to Hamilton Island Golf Club).
Prior to the closure of the Laguna Quays Resort and Turtle Point golf course, plans were in place to develop two new courses on the resort. The Karrie Webb designed Jagabara course had commenced construction, while Greg Norman had designed a third course, the Pandanus. Work on these two additional courses was obviously halted when the resort closed in 2012.
Women’s (British) Open: the last women’s major championship of the season is hosted by Royal Porthcawl GC. It’s the first time this fabulous seaside links course has hosted the event (July 31-Aug 3).
Walker Cup: the 50th playing of this prestigious men’s amateur event sees the GB&I go head-to-head against the defending USA team at Cypress Point Club, California (Sept 6-7). After that, all eyes turn to Bethpage State Park on Long Island, NY, where the American and defending European professional teams engage in the 45th Ryder Cup (Sept 27-29).
Lottie Woad: 21-year-old Woad burst onto the professional scene in July, with wins in the Women’s Irish Open (as an amateur) and three weeks later in the Women’s Scottish Open (as a professional). She nearly picked-up a major championship, placing third in The Evian in the same month.
Pádraig Harrington: the ever-likeable Irishman added the (British) Senior Open Championship title to his stellar array of tournament successes. His win came on Sunningdale’s spectacular Old Course. Harrington had already bagged the U.S. Senior Open title in June this year.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
Here at Prince’s Golf Club you'll find 27 excellent holes of links golf. Just over the fence and sharing similar terrain is Royal St George’s; but Prince’s is far from overshadowed by its venerable neighbour. The three nine-hole loops at Prince's, laid out over gently undulating terrain, are sure to bring a smile of satisfaction to all lovers of links golf.
Stay&Play at Prince's: excellent onsite Lodge accommodation available
