The newly redesigned 18-hole golf course in Australia and its contemporary clubhouse are due to open in early 2012.

Troon announced that it has been appointed to manage Stonebridge Golf Club in the heart of the Hunter Valley wine country just outside of Newcastle and a short drive from Sydney in Australia.

The newly redesigned 18-hole golf course and its contemporary clubhouse are due to open in early 2012, along with an extensive new driving range and chipping and putting areas.

“We are looking forward to assisting the club board to establish the new Stonebridge Golf Club,” said Ryan Walls, senior vice president and managing director of Troon Golf’s Australia, Asia and Pacific division. “The combination of a great course design set within a backdrop of the Hunter Valley wine region will make this an appealing destination for locals and travelers alike and we look forward to providing the ‘Troon Experience’ during their visit,” he added.
