"We are honoured to be commissioned to build this Faldo Design course, and to continue the tradition of producing quality golf courses in the beautiful Muskoka area," said Craig Thompson, President and CEO of Evans Golf.
The Faldo course is the sixth major golf course project in Muskoka for Evans Golf following the construction of Deerhurst Highlands, The Lake Joseph Club, Rocky Crest Golf Club, The Mark O Meara Course at Grandview Golf Club and Bigwin Island. Cleveland-based golf architect Brit Stenson is working with Nick Faldo on the design of the course. Mr. Stenson worked with Mark O Meara on the Grandview course.
Muskoka is a difficult place to build golf courses because the base is solid granite. The site is gentle to moderate in topography with rock outcroppings on at least 13 holes, thick woodlands and scenic vistas.
Evans Golf with offices in Orlando, Toronto and Vancouver is one of North America's first established golf course builders successfully completing more than 150 18-hole projects during the past 40 years.
Evans Golf is a member of the Golf Course Builders Association of America, the National Golf Foundation and the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America.
