Though the Mathern course has reopened, the Old Course will re-open in June. Both re-designed teeing areas, re-shaped and additional bunkers, a new automatic irrigation system on all greens, new pathways and new bridges over waterways.
The 7th hole on the Old Course has been redesigned from a par-4 to a dogleg right par-5 - taking the course over 7000 yards and creating a par of 72. The Old will also feature two new greens with plans for a further two greens over the next two years.
An ingenious new approach to membership of a golf club will soon be introduced in the London area offering the opportunity to join an exclusive establishment while applying fees according to how much you play.
The new site for the Centurion project is set in 160 acres of rolling countryside and woodland at Potters Crouch between St Albans and Hemel Hempstead and open in June next year (2009).
The management team, led by Chairman Roy Horton and Managing Director Scott Evans, devised their new approach to subscription golf after studying rising costs at traditional courses and realised that members wanted sensible annual fixed cost of membership with flexibility of usage for themselves and their guests.
One report revealed: "Traditional membership with an annual payment to cover all golf use is unlikely to grow and fill clubs.”
