Thanks to Graham for more photos after his recent visit.
Progress continues on phase 2/12 , the Town Centre and the Old Hacienda.
Graham was in awe of El Don's visit to the Hacienda as he had tried to pay a visit himself only for the same security guard to turn up like a bad smell. Every time he went round a corner the guy would appear by magic as if anticipating every move even after Graham had thought he had given the guy the slip.
One thing Graham has managed to do for us all is find out what future holds for the Hacienda. On a recent visit El Don was told that it was to be used as a wine cellar and various other possibilities have been proposed, of course PW's line has been that it will be a "chill-out" bar and it was to have an horizon swimming pool outside.
It now appears that it will be the clubhouse according to Graham's informant at Polaris World. The holes are to be renumbered, presumeably so that the course will start and finish near the clubhouse. I haven't worked out the likely combo, but it would appear the would be 18th with water all the way along the left of the hole and an approach over water will no longer be the final threat!
Speaking of the course Graham had a good look at some greens and says they look quite wooly and not nearly ready for play so it appears that unfortunately my contention that there will be no golf on Terrazas in 2009 will be correct. It seems more likely that the Nicklaus Design estimate of May 2010 is the likely opening.
Thanks for the photos and the information Graham.
