The Design Concept

The golf course has been designed by internationally-renowned golf designer, Nelson & Haworth Golf Course Architects.

Nelson & Haworth designs are noted as much for their visual drama as for their appeal to golfers of all levels.

At Defence Raya Golf & Country Club, they have designed a course that transforms the current flat site to a stimulating environment for golf, while creating panoramic views for the luxury homes that surround the course.

Winding lakes and water features cut into undulating fairways leading up to the elevated greens and tee. Fairways swoop and dip, creating interesting and challenging golf as well as a course of great visual appeal, particularly when the shadows of late afternoon highlight the ground contours.

Strategic in nature, the golf course will reward golfers who are able to think as well as control the flight of their shots.
However, fairways will be wide and greens generally open on at least one side, so that beginners are not discouraged.
