Investment at Antognolla Golf Makes this the Perfect Time for Membership
Antognolla Golf are delighted to announce the appointment of César Burguière as their Golf Director. The appointment of César is a key part of a new chapter for Antognolla, which has recently commenced a significant investment to transform its 12th century castle, existing golf course and estate into an exclusive international resort.
César joins Antognolla to lead the golf team, after 5 successful years in Spain, where he was Director of Golf at one of Europe’s best emerging golf resorts – Lumine Beach & Golf Community. Previous to this, César was Golf Operations Manager at the award winning Costa Navarino in Greece and has worked with Troon Golf for eight years.
The Robert Trent Jones Junior designed golf course at Antognolla, which was originally opened in 2000, is undergoing a renovation and upgrade programme. The investment has been ongoing or the last few months.
César explained “This season saw the start of an agronomy programme to really raise the conditions and presentation at Antognolla significantly. We have implemented essential work on the greens, over seeded the fairways and completely renovated the tee surfaces. Work has gone well and we are expecting the golf course to be in the best condition for years, in the 2018 season.” César added “This is just the initial phase and 2018 will see the commencement of the upgrade of the irrigation system to provide a state of the art and efficient system that makes best use of our water resources. In addition, the bunker renovation programme will also commence and be phased over the next 2 years, to minimise any disruption to our members and guests.”
John Deere also recently delivered some new turf machinery to Antognolla, the first phase of a fleet overhaul, to ensure the growing team has the tools to deliver the results.
The work is being carefully planned to minimise disruption and we have announced that we are holding our current membership pricing structure for 2018. With investments into the practice facilities, cart fleet and team, coupled with the golf course upgrade, now is an opportune time to become a member of Antognolla Golf. There is a range of membership options to suit your requirements, from individual to families.
