The project includes a complete course redesign by architect Kyle Phillips, who is restructuring the layout to improve playability and maximise views of the Irish Sea. The expansion incorporates a brand-new clubhouse spanning 4,000 square feet, with an upper-floor restaurant offering unobstructed coastal views to encourage all-day visits. Infrastructure upgrades include new locker rooms, a fully stocked professional shop, state-of-the-art irrigation and completely rebuilt fescue greens and landing areas. The pay-and-play course remains closed for construction under project managers Turfgrass and builders Golf Link Evolve, with the fully modernised Brittas Bay Club on track to reopen in Spring 2027.
