43 The Menai-Davis family of golf developers has appointed European Golf Design to complete work on its new 18-hole golf course project in Edgware, London. The course was designed by Pete Dye, who passed away in 2020. His son Perry, also part of the original design team, passed away in 2021. The project, which was announced in 2013 with the name The Dye London, will now be named The Legacy Club. “We will be realising the vision which Pete and Alice Dye originally had for the golf course, including the routing, but we will provide the detail,” said Jeremy Slessor, managing director of European Golf Design. “The Legacy Club will be enjoyable and playable for all golfers, but will also offer a challenge worthy of a Tour venue.” Photo: The Legacy Club EGD to complete work on Dye project in London Golf course architect Jim Lipe has completed the first phase of renovation work on the Pacifico course at Punta Mita, near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, renovating greens, surrounds, bunkers and tees. The second phase of the resort’s five-year renovation plan is due to start in April 2022, concentrating on greens, surrounds and tees on its Bahia course. Phases three and four will include replacing grass on fairways with Trinity Zoysia.

The new holes are designed by Dino De Abreu of novoLGCA and are scheduled to open in the second quarter of 2022. “The new nine is laid out on a section of the site known as ‘the Hidden Valley’,” said De Abreu. “It has untouched beauty flanked on all sides with spectacular rolling hills and mountainous peaks. Carved natural drainage channels dictate play and make for great risk and reward golf. Every time I walk onto the site I’ve said ‘there’s a golf course under here, peel away the upper layer and she’s there’.” Construction of second nine continues at Vulintaba Photo: novoLGCA
