renowned American architect Beau Welling in close association with European
Ryder Cup winning captain Paul McGinley.
The new accolade continues the resort’s recent success
story after it won two awards at the inaugural World Golf Awards last year and

Awards for the first time in its illustrious history.

modernisation of all its facilities.

a position to offer the most vibrant lifestyle experience to suit every taste
in Europe, and it was a privilege for the resort to be given the opportunity
again to help host the event and showcase some of the new facilities to guests
at the World Golf Awards.”
