Jack Nicklaus II Tours His Newest Course

(Hurricane, UT) - Jack Nicklaus II recently visited his newest golf course design at Collina Tinta, a 900-acre Tuscan-inspired master-planned community currently under construction in Hurricane, Utah, on the steps of Zion National Park. Nicklaus II walked the course with members of the executive team from Summit Development & Management, the developer of Collina Tinta; and met with local dignitaries, including Hurricane Mayor Tom Hirschi.

"We've heard much about Collina Tinta in recent planning meetings, but to be onsite and catch the vision and magnitude of this project is inspiring," said Hirschi. "No doubt, Collina Tinta will raise the bar of elegant golf course living in southern Utah."

The golf course will meander across 200 acres at the base of Sullivan's Knoll, a volcanic-created topographic landmark on the Collina Tinta site. According to Nicklaus II, the 18-hole, par-72 course is designed to attract golfers of all levels.

"The diversity of holes accompanied with the scenic beauty and dramatic topography of the area should make Collina Tinta a course golfers of all abilities will enjoy," he said. "The course should appeal to the recreational golfer looking for a fun round of golf or a good way to improve his or her handicap. Yet the seasoned professional or low-handicap player will find Collina Tinta a challenge and strong test of golf.".

Scheduled to open in 2008, the course at Collina Tinta will become a private club but will offer nonmember play for a limited time. The course will feature exceptional practice facilities, as well as a private golf club that will house a golf shop, locker rooms and both casual and formal dining options. Located adjacent to the golf clubhouse will be a spa and athletic club with fitness, indoor and outdoor pools, tennis courts and spa treatment rooms. The community will also be home to acres of park areas and open space.

In addition to the Nicklaus II course and other social and recreational amenities, Collina Tinta will be home to 2,200 homes, including custom estate lots, villas and townhomes, with prices expected to range from the $500,000s to more than $1 million.
