A proposed $50 million golf course and residential development at Millbrook Resort will enable the resort to operate two fully operational 18-hole courses.

Consent has been granted for the development on farm land neighbouring Millbrook and will include nine new golf holes and 42 residential sections. Millbrook currently has 27-holes available to players and director of property and development Ben O’Malley says the new 36-hole format effectively adds 100% golf capacity with two 18-hole courses that can be operated simultaneously.

He says it is a milestone for the resort to be getting underway with the development after four years in the planning.
