We have been signed on to manage the golf operations at Le Paradis, a luxury golf destination in one of the most beautiful bays in the Caribbean, on the eastern shore of St. Lucia. Le Paradis, formerly known as Praslin Heights, is included in a multi phased project on a 554 acre estate that will include a Greg Norman golf course, a 4 star branded hotel, casino, spa, conference facilities, 100 private residences and a neighborhood of signature homes all providing great beach and forest views. Phase 1 construction will begin July 2005 with the course and hotel scheduled for opening in 2007. Phase 2 will extend around the bay to include the hotel, marina and waterways. We are very excited about expanding our portfolio to this beautiful island.

A “cool” new idea is being offered at a few Troon facilities in Arizona to keep our golfers comfortable on the course during the dog days of summer. Kierland Golf Club and Whirlwind Golf Club are the first Troon facilities to introduce the Coolwell G2 on our golf carts. In just a short time these simple air conditioners have already received rave reviews from golfers. The Coolwell utilizes a unique combination of air conditioner and beverage cooler that sits on the back of the cart and blows cool air on the neck of the cart riders. These units will also be rolled out at Troon North Golf Club in late July.
For more on the Coolwell G2 carts, here are some recent articles on AZCentral.com and TravelVideo.tv.
