46 TEE BOX Global round-up MontHill Golf & Country Club near Toronto, Canada, has appointed design firm Whitman, Axland & Cutten to develop a master plan for its three nines (Blue, Gold and Red). “This 27-hole layout sits on a very good site, one that reminds us of Augusta National,” said Keith Cutten. “With 27 holes currently crammed on a site that used to house 18, things are very tight. We have proposed that a new 18-hole routing would better utilise the site and allow for new practice facilities. The club has also changed its model from public to fully private.” Stu Bradshaw, golf course superintendent at MontHill, said: “We’re extremely excited to have entered into the first phase of a redesign with WAC Golf. We believe, hidden on our property is a top tier golf course, it just needs to be found.” Construction is expected to begin in 2024.

Bell. “For me, this extraordinary restoration is like finding buried treasure,” said Pizá. “Beneath the existing golf course lies a golf course that should be, historically speaking, synonymous with Cypress Point and Pasatiempo. Our goal was to interpret Bell’s masterful design concept with the hope of restoring the golf course back to its glory years.” Tijuana appoints Agustin Pizá to develop restoration plan Image: Pizá Golf
