Author: Mike Lynch Role: Chairman of Development Committee " When Cobh Golf Club embarked on the ambitous move from a tight 9-hole course to our dream of a challenging "Championship standard" 18-hole complex with practice facilities, we were fortunate to encounter Hawtree Limited and Marc Westenborg. The professionalism of Marc and Hawtree was essential in ensuring that the project was a success.For a member's owned club it was critical for Cobh that our new Course came in on schedule and within budget and Marcs' skill and influence was vital in the achievement of both these goals.The Marino Course at Cobh Golf Club is already ranked among the top Courses in the area and as it matures I am confident it will be regarded in the top ecgelon of Courses in Ireland.If we were building another course we would have no hesitation in employing Hawtree Limited again and I can give no greater endorsement than this.

Author: Warwick Brindle Role: Chairman of Rockliffe Hall Ltd. " Rockliffe Hall Limited appointed Hawtree to develop an 18-hole Championship standard golf course at its prestigious five-star development in County Durham in 2006. The course was scheduled to open in June 2009 and opened on time to great accolades. I have found Hawtree to be an excellent partner and with their dedicated and professional approach they are a valuable asset to have on the team. Marc Westenborg in particular has produced an outstanding design which meets all of the demanding criteria laid down by the Rockliffe Hall project. I would have no hesitation in recommending Hawtree and Marc Westenborg to interested parties intending to carry out restructuring golf course works, or design and build an entirely new facility. "

Author: Paul McGrath Role: Property Manager " The project related to the construction of a new 27 hole golf course at Ballyman to facilitate the relocation of a long established members Golf Club, Dun Laoghaire Golf Club. From the outset the ambition was to create a facility of the highest quality and the specification reflected this.I found Hawtree to be responsive and professional, communication was first class and in particular I found Hawtree very responsive and sensitive to the particular needs of the Members Club. While you had very firm ideas of what you were trying to achieve you were always prepared to take on board the comments or requirements of us as clients or the Golf Club as end user and this was critical in ensuring a positive outcome to the project.The Course is fantastic and will get better as the years pass and will, in time come to be recognised as one of the finest courses in Ireland. Anyone who is considering utilising your services should visit the site and I think that the finished product will tell them all they need to know. I would have no hesitation in recommending the work of Hawtree Golf based on my experience. "
