Harrah’s Entertainment and Butch Harmon unveiled the vision for Caesars Golf Macau on 16th Dec. The plan includes the establishment of Asia’s first Butch Harmon School of Golf. Harmon has been the coach of several world #1 ranked players. The par 72 golf course development will include an expansion of the clubhouse to 32,000 square feet with a 4,000-square-foot spa, a golf lifestyle boutique, state-of-the-art meeting facilities, a clubhouse to feature high end and fine-dining restaurant operated by G&L Group. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Harrah’s Entertainment Gary Loveman told the cost was $25.8 million.

The Asia’s first Butch Harmon School of Golf in Macau will impart the teaching philosophy that began with Harmon’s father, Claude - who is the 1948 US Masters champion.

Harrah’s Entertainment underscored its commitment to diversifying the leisure attractions available in Macau. The company acquired the 175 acre Macau Orient Golf Course in September 2007. “Now we are redefining what destination golf can be right here in Macau with Caesars Golf. We look forward to working closely with the Macau government to help continue grow and diversify its tourism sector,” Gary W. Loveman added.

The company also announced that the club will be home to the ‘Macau Golf Association Junior Golf Programme at Caesars Golf Macau’. This program will provide opportunities for children to experience golf, and at the same time helping to identify, develop talented young Macanese players.
