Lae Golf Club

Unrated: Well regarded course not yet visited by the Where2Golf team.

Est. 1951

Lae Golf Club: Laid out on a former colonial plantation and WW2 American army camp, the Lae golf course includes several attractive holes and features. This tree-lined parkland layout is dotted with native and tropical vegetation and will provide an enjoyable test for most facets of your game.

The predominantly straightaway holes play through relatively tight tree-lined fairways. Although many fairways are bunkerless, it's a different matter around the relatively small well-defended greens. Worth visiting if you are in the area.

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).

Who's Who

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.
