Update On Golf Course Opening

Hi just copied the following info from terrazas comminity web page with refrence to the opening of the first nine holes

MARCH / MARZO 2010

Clubs cleaned, shoes polished, trollyed oiled - All that was need was a golf course opening on the 1 April as promised, but clearly this was an April Fool joke on the side of Polaris.

We visited from 4 April till the 9th and there was not a sign of any activity on thE golf course.  We went to Polaris to ask why they had failed to deliver on a promise yet again, but unfortunately all the Polaris Customer Service team were in meetings.  The Customer Services team now consists of just two people and when we entered the bottom floor showroom at Polaris HQ it was in the dark with only a receptionist and security guard present.  It does not seem that long ago that this was a hive of activity selling properties.

The news we were given was the course opening had been delayed because Polaris wanted to open the town centre at the same time.  This was due late April/ Early May.  Given that the town centre is just a shell, this not be opening for some time.  I assume that they meant April/May 2011!

Lets think it through! Town Centre & golf course? What have they in common? Can't think of much reason why they should open at the same time

Just another lie from hard pressed PW staff perhaps? It probably sounded as good as any other lie he/she could dream up/ be asked to tell at the time. I wonder how close to the truth we will get after the 22nd?

Dave,

To be honest, I was not that impressed with the Town Centre progress.  It reminded me of visiting the backlot at Universal Studios where it looks real from a distance, but when you get up close it is only a skeleton structure made to look as if it is real.

Hopefully we'll be playing the course by the summer, but I can't see us shoping, eating or drinking in the Town Centre until next year.

Hi Steve

I know exactly what you mean, I've been on that Universal Studios tour as well. I think they have "confessed" that it will be the end of the year at least before it is built & opened. That normally translates to "end of next year" but I for one didn't expect to see it even to the stage it is at now given all their circumstances.

Being positive I think the fact that is there at all is a positive sign that Terrazas will not just be left as some blocks of apartments in a field with no facilities.

I have not had the opporunity to walk around the whole site but my impression is that there are around 9 holes close to being playable but much to be done elsewhere - could be wrong of course. The noticeboard at La Torre has a flyer for the 1st Nicklaus Golf Circuit and La Torre Sur aka Terrazas is slotted in for 15th May. A 9 holer methinks!

Anyway I do hope that you are playing by the summer - if not give me a shout and we can play La Torre - I am over in July & August.

Cheers

Dave
