Nordcenter Golf Club Fream Course
Amminefors, Finland
George Philpott of Legacy Golf Course Architecture was chosen by Ron Fream to lead in the design effort for the remodeling of the Fream Course at Nordcenter Golf Club, originally completed in 1987. This joint effort produced a challenging, updated version of the golf course which paid homage to the look and feel of the original while updating the strategy and revitalizing the tees, greens, and bunkers. Now ranked #4 in Finland by Golf Digest, the remodeled course has been a great success and plays host to the PGA Finnish Championship.
konjiam Golf Resort
Kwangju, South Korea
Owned by LG Corporation, the Konjiam golf course underwent renovation design to renew the layout and to attract future tournament play by updating the aging Takira Minoru design. George Philpott re-routed golf holes on the property, designed new putting surfaces, green surrounds, tee complexes, and fairway bunkering while working at Golfplan. The course fully re-opened for play in 2010 to excellent reviews.
saujana Golf Club Palm Course
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
In collaboration with world renowned golf course architect Ronald Fream, Legacy Golf Course Architecture assisted in design and drawing production for the Palm Course remodeling in 2014. Working with members, we tailored the design to suit the needs of the club, while invigorating and breathing new life into the course originally designed by Fream in 1979. Up-sizing of greens and tee complexes will allow the course to better handle the 60,000 rounds per year it now receives. Currently under construction and due to open 2015-2016.
Bangi golf Resort
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Legacy was chosen to design 13 holes for the Bangi Golf Resort in 2014, remodeling 4 existing holes and adding 9 new ones. Upon their completion in 2016-2017, these will bring the total number of golf holes at the resort to 36. A unique model, the new Bangi golf addition caters to the local market with shorter, creatively bunkered holes offering ample risk/reward opportunities for daring players to take advantage of. Offering a visually and mentally stimulating challenge, while using less land we keep maintenance costs down significantly. This allows the club to offer an exciting round of golf at an affordable price.
Zion Hills Golf Club
Bangalore, India
In a joint effort with veteran architect Ronald Fream, George Philpott recently designed and produced the drawings for the back nine addition to Zion Hills Golf Club - due to open 2016-2017. Earlier, when with Golfplan, George was responsible for much of the front nine design, as well. Existing rock landscape features were preserved and enhanced. Local materials and rock work serve to seamlessly weave the golf course into its surroundings.
