Cranbourne golfers to experience 'Troon Golf'
02 October, 2007
Cranbourne golfers will now be able to experience 'Troon Golf', after the world's leading golf course management company was appointed to manage Settlers Run Golf & Country Club, a Greg Norman-designed 18-hole championship golf course in Cranbourne South.
The Club will offer members and guests a range of world-class facilities including a community village incorporating a luxury clubhouse, gymnasium, tennis courts, swimming pool, pro shop and bar/bistro.
Senior Vice President and Managing Director of Troon Golf Australasia Kurt Michelsen said the team was looking forward to delivering a world-class golfing experience to the region.
"The Cranbourne site provided a great landscape for Greg Norman to create a fantastic golf course and he has done just that," Mr Michelsen said.
"I believe that in time it will be regarded as one of the best layouts of its type in Australia.
"Settlers Run provides Victorian golfers with their first opportunity to experience Troon Golf.
"Our goal is to ensure that all members and visitors to Settlers Run receive an exceptional golfing experience. The Troon Golf team is committed to matching the standard of service with the high standard of course design," he said.
The Settlers Run golf course has seen Greg Norman draw inspiration from Melbourne's renowned sandbelt courses to create a dramatic, natural golf setting just 45 minutes south-east of the Melbourne CBD.
The design of the 18-hole championship golf course takes advantage of the undulating landscape and native vegetation to create a layout that complements the surrounding environment.
The bunkering is a key feature of the design, with Greg Norman using dramatic sand faced bunkers for which the Melbourne sandbelt is renowned.
In an effort to 'drought-proof' the course, Settlers Run has constructed a pipeline to supply treated water for irrigation - an important asset in this time of water shortages.
Individual, family and corporate membership packages for Settlers Run will be launched in July 2007, and you can register your expression of interest by contacting Troy Eichelberger on 03 9785 6072.
Settlers Run Golf & Country Club is the centrepiece of a $300 million residential community being developed in Cranbourne South, Victoria. For more information about land for sale please phone
