The journey of Westlake Golf Club’s transformation is a tale that unfolds from the realm of design into a tangible reality. Nicklaus Design lent its visionary touch to redefine the existing 18-hole course, reshaping it into a golfing sanctuary. Every fairway, every green, and every hazard was meticulously reviewed in detail and punctuates the Westlake team’s commitment to golfing perfection.
The role of Thompson Golf Management is central to Westlake Golf Club’s excellence. Engaged as an agronomy consultant, TGM embarked on an intricate journey that entailed engineering optimal root zones, assessing water quality suitability, and meticulously selecting bunker sands that harmonize playability and aesthetics. Reviewing irrigation hardware and software operating systems brought unrivaled efficiency to course maintenance. Grassing selections received a meticulous touch, culminating in the successful trial of Pure Distinction on the greens, proof of TGM’s commitment to pushing boundaries for exceptional results.
TGM didn’t just elevate the course; they nurtured the team that brings it to life. Extensive retraining transformed the existing unit into a skilled workforce that understands and embodies quality. Innovation took flight with the introduction of drone technology, enhancing course management and offering a unique perspective of landscape management. TGM’s remote access service revolutionized maintenance practices, ensuring precision from a distance. Administrative systems were revamped, fostering seamless operations that resonate with professionalism.
In April 2023, Westlake Golf Club stood on the global stage by hosting an entire mock trial tournament of the Asian Games. By September of the same year, the club seamlessly hosted the full Asian Games. This monumental achievement showcased Westlake’s stature as a venue of international repute.
