Lima Golf Club, Lima, Peru<br />

The project at Lima is a great example of how quickly concept plans can be turned into reality. The first visit was made<br />

to Lima in March 2017 <strong>and</strong>, by May <strong>2018</strong>, the Club’s annual invitation tournament was played over the reconfigured<br />

course <strong>and</strong> the elite players in the field were able to practise on the br<strong>and</strong> new driving range. The practice facilities<br />

have, in some ways, been the focus of the project but the course has been strengthened as well with a new par 3 9 th<br />

hole, a new 8 th green <strong>and</strong> revisions to the routing of the 1 st <strong>and</strong> 10 th holes. A second phase of work is now underway<br />

with all existing bunkers being reshaped, new ones added <strong>and</strong> all fairways being upgraded with Bermuda grass.<br />

The double ended driving range has three artificial target greens which can be used as a short course for beginners<br />

<strong>and</strong> juniors when the range is closed, giving the Club a great facility to allow new golfers to take their first steps in<br />

playing the game. A fun putting green has been added at the Clubhouse taking its concept from the Himalayas at St.<br />

Andrews. It has been aptly named ‘The Limalayas’!<br />
