Recent Work

Springwood Country Club, NSW

Lyne Morrison Golf Design and Springwood Country Club are finding creative solutions to lift interest in the course, improve participation and membership levels and help the club to thrive and grow.

An initial assessment of the golf course is complete. Lyne is now assisting the club with a strategic planning process that will inform the scheduling of future works.

Belvoir Park Golf Course, Victoria

With a strategic focus on increasing the number of women and seniors on the course, Lyne Morrison Golf Design is reviewing the White tee set-up at Belvoir Park Golf Course.

Play from the traditional tees currently leaves many women out of reach of greens in regulation figures. Including Forward tees scaled to the women's game will support player retention, improved enjoyment and participation.

Paying attention to forced carries, variety in club selection and ensuring that shots required from each tee do not exceed the player's capabilities are central to better scoring and a more enjoyable round.
