Nicklaus Design, recognized as the world leader in golf course design, is the privately owned company founded by golf legend Jack Nicklaus. Nicklaus Design represents a team of the world's most accomplished golf course design associates, industry consultants, and experts in golf course development and marketing. Just as its founder once raised golf to a higher level, Nicklaus Design has elevated the standards of golf course design. The firm has been involved with close to 300 courses open for play in 28 countries and 37 states. At least 47 Nicklaus Design courses have been ranked in various national or international Top-100 lists, and by the end of 2006, at least 79 Nicklaus Design courses will have hosted a combined total of over 500 professional tournaments worldwide or significant USGA national championships.
As unique as each design is, they all share the Nicklaus Design philosophy of working closely with clients, enhancing the natural environment and creating courses that are both challenging and enjoyable for players of all levels. With the name Nicklaus Design behind a golf course, its value is enhanced tremendously. And that value will only grow with time.
These are just a few of the reasons why Nicklaus Design was the first choice for the Moorea Golf Course:
Nicklaus Design’s first venture in the South Pacific French Polynesian Islands is an 18-hole championship course at Moorea that has been created to preserve the unspoilt natural heritage of one of the most beautiful coastlines in all the world, while providing a challenge for the professional and inspiration to the amateur.
Nicklaus Design has taken full advantage of this spectacular site. The splendid tapestry on which Moorea Golf Course has been created includes lush grassed islands, carefully crafted water features, magnificent mountain views, and a stunning contrast of the azure ocean water with glistening white sand beaches.
