Greg Norman’s firm has been selected by Grupo Vidanta to design the second course at its Nuevo Vallarta resort in Mexico.

Work for the course, which is set to begin in early 2012, will see the first nine holes completed by November of that year and the second half by mid 2013.

The Greg Norman Signature course will join an already existing Nicklaus design, with Grupo Vidanta making plans to open three more courses on the resort in the future.

"We are extremely honoured to partner with Greg Norman Golf Course Design on the creation of what is destined to be a special golf course and a favourite of golfers for years to come," said Arturo Hernandez, chief architect for Grupo Vidanta.
