GOLFING legend Greg Norman wants to design and manage an 18-hole golf course in the Far North.That’s the real reason for his visit by company private jet to the region last weekend.
The US-based entrepreneur was a guest of KUR-World to inspect Macau developer Ken Lee’s $650 million eco-resort vision at Myola. The proposal includes an 18-hole golf course.
KUR-World business development strategist Alex Blake said that six weeks ago Greg Norman’s company made contact about future partnership opportunities involving the development of the golf course and asked to inspect the site.
He said Mr Norman and his team spent four hours at the Barnwell Rd property before further talks over dinner at Cafe China in Cairns.
“This was our first meeting, so we are still in early stages,” Mr Blake said.
“We are assessing the potential to have them involved in course design, as well as ongoing golf course management services, after they recently moved into this area,” he said.
Mr Blake said it was not intended or expected Mr Norman would invest in the project, only the design and management of the course.
“We still do not know how they found out about us. They have a good business development team,” he said.
“He was genuinely impressed by the Barnwell Farm property and he and his team were excited to potentially be involved in the development.
“He (Mr Norman) said the site has the potential to be a truly unique course, particularly with our intention to be as eco-friendly as possible. He seemed particularly interested in this aspect.”
Mr Blake said senior staff had already made contact again after his return to Florida.
“We are providing additional detailed plans on the site and then we will proceed to negotiating their possible involvement in design and possible course management,” he said.
“We are considering other golf course design companies as well, though, and whether we manage the course by in-house management.”

The area in question is here.

Had a little chuckle to myself when I saw Kuranda State Forest was pretty much the least green area on the entire map!
