Plus I’m building another three of them and there are a lot of known Korean companies coming here to build golf resorts. So in five years’ time there will be quite a lot more golf courses, and this is going to be a golfing destination. “And the idea: if we are thinking about VIP players and if they are serious golfers, then 10% of them will look for [a destination like] this. They’re going to be very happy to look for an IR where they can enjoy themselves and play golf.” Over the course of the next decade, Hann Philippines Inc will develop three world-class golf courses designed by some of the biggest names in the world of golf. These will comprise a mountain course designed by Nicklaus Design, a valley course by South Korean professional golfer KJ Choi, and the Sir Nick Faldo Signature river course designed by legendary six-time Major winner and former World No.1 Sir Nick Faldo.
