Designed by former golf professional-turned-course designer Greg Turner, the holes are part of the new Coronet Nine course being developed at Millbrook West, a $500 million residential and golf course development.
While the holes will be officially opened to the public on Saturday, Millbrook Country Club members will get the first shot at them in the regular members' Friday match.
The holes are being brought into play while four holes from the original Sir Bob Charles-designed 18-hole course are retired for extensive reconfiguration and realignment, meaning golfers will play this hybrid course for the next 12 months.
Millbrook property and development manager Ben O'Malley said the relatively young holes were still in their maturing phase, being only a year old, but time and some extra "TLC" would see them come into their full glory to test golfers of all levels.
"Golfers will definitely notice the difference, with firmer greens that all conform to United States Golf Association specifications, wider fairways, dramatic contours to negotiate, and be taken by the new 16th tee [the second tee of the Coronet Nine], which is the highest in the resort with fantastic views," he said.
When all the golf course work is complete, there will be three interchangeable nines - the Remarkables Nine, Coronet Nine and Arrow Nine - in play for the 2010 season.
