As the first Nicklaus Design course in Asia to offer this amazing “twin green” concept players can expect to find a unique option to play to two different greens on all 18 holes. Talking about this unique feature, Mr. Paul Stringer, President of Nicklaus Companies Asia Pacific said "The result will be a variety of strategic hole combinations that can be played in one 18-hole round. We have created two separate green complexes playing from one primary landing zone on each hole. From a Nicklaus team perspective the twin greens add interest, challenge, and a unique design feature to the golf course. The golf course at BRG Legend Hill Golf Resort has water, strategically placed bunkers, and is a beautiful environment in which to play golf."
