Is the Great White Shark's designer golf course a ‘hole in one' for investors?
Capital gain A prominent golf course designed by sporting superstar Greg Norman and industry legend Bob Harrison in regional NSW is up for sale. Norman, nicknamed the Great White Shark, helped design the Par 72 layout – which features Santa Ana couch grass fairways – in the late 1980s and while no price is disclosed, it has expectations of selling for around $14 million. The course has about 500 playing members and was home to the 2002 NSW Masters. The Shark, as he is now more commonly known, has won many major tournaments and was part of the formation of the controversial Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series of golf tournaments. Reputed to have a close bond with golf tragic President Donald Trump, the Shark's Greg Norman Golf Course Design business has created more than 100 courses across 34 countries and six continents. The sale of the freehold Longyard Golf Course and The Windmill Tavern in Tamworth includes nearly 60 hectares of land. The 18-hole championship course is recognised as one of NSW's premier regional venues. The property is being sold by owners who have held it for the past decade.
