This week's photos from Val de Rois, our new build near Santiago de Compostela. We are fortunate that the site is rich in natural oak woodland and shall be using standalone specimens to frame many of the holes.

Having been closed for 10 days while the local authorities dealt with the nearby forest fire heroically, Fontainebleau reopened this weekend. Formidable.
In liaison with our own Frank Pont, Sutton Coldfield's Course Manager Chris Roberts has expanded MacKenzie's 7th green back to its original dimensions. #afterisalwaysbetter @ivgd1.bsky.social @mikeclaytongolf.bsky.social
An afternoon walking The Addington inspecting this year's work. Congratulations to Jonathan and the team for having the course in such wonderful condition.
New Zealand GC. Parched, firm and fast.
