"Designing a golf course is my total expression. My golf game can only go on so long, But what I have learned can be put into a piece of ground and that will last beyond me." - Jack Nicklaus
Jubilee Lakes will boast an 18-hole course designed by world leader in the design industry, Nicklaus Design. Co-developer Golf Data is a company that has left an impressive legacy on the South African golfing landscape with their involvement in over 35 premier courses, including luminaries such as St Francis Links and Simola. Golf Data constructed courses that have won the prestigious “Best New Golf Course of the Year” Award on an unparalleled four occasions – Pecanwood (1998); Pezula (2000); Pearl Valley (2003) and Simola (2004). The Jubilee Lakes championship course will be constructed to USGA specifications.
The name Nicklaus has long been associated with greatness on a golf course. The 20 major championships. The electrifying finishes. The sheer will to win. Jack's achievements are legendary.
However, the name Nicklaus transcends his dominance as a player and extends far beyond Jack alone. Today, Nicklaus also stands for superior golf course design, a result of Jack's more than three decades as a renowned golf course designer and his sons' and son-in-law's solid reputations as designers themselves.
Together, they represent Nicklaus Design, a team of the world's most accomplished golf course design associates, agronomists, industry consultants, and experts in golf course construction and marketing. Just as Jack once raised golf to a higher level, Nicklaus Design has elevated the standards of golf course design.
The result of that dedication and ingenuity is hundreds of spectacular courses worldwide. Yet as unique as each design is, they all share the Nicklaus' 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 behind a golf course, its value is enhanced tremendously. And that value will only grow with time.
